Woke up a slight sore throat so thought I'd do the right thing & get a Covid test. Official Gov.uk website now demanding I share my information with an American Credit Check Company.
No way that's good news.
This is the same website that I could already log into and pay my taxes, so why this? Quick search shows that not only does it look like our govt are using the pandemic to sell some data harvesting to the US, but it's actively stopped people being able to get home tests.
Awful
Think I am right in saying, under the EU's GDPR rules a company would not be able to hold onto information given in this way. Those rules do not apply to the USA.
So, if you had any doubt whether Tories would dare make money off the NHS in a global pandemic, sure looks that way.
Last one because too much twitter politics is bad for you but, remember in July when the opposition tabled an amendment to make sure this wasn't allowed & Conservative party voted against it?
Still, at least we're all allowed to sing Rule Britannia again

Imagine some folks are tweeting me to explain I'm a dumbass & this is normal & a good thing. Sure. could be this is all legit.
But if you think Govt isn't looking to sell off the NHS, google "NHS vote July 20th Daily Mail" & ask yourself why they wouldn't report on it

In the interest of spreading honest information I've been told TransUnion also have a UK office in Leeds. I took my info from this search result which labels them American. Still seems dodgy to me but, only fair to point this out.
Hi everyone.
This original thread is getting shared a lot so I have just done a follow up one trying to collate information people have shared on this topic.

TL;DR: the co also has a UK office, please do get a test if you think you need one.

Hi all, since I tweeted this yesterday people have shared some useful information on the matter.
I have looked to collate it in the thread below.
TLDR: the company also has an office in the UK, and please get a test if you need one.
