So then the question is justified - how is it that if I go to gov.uk, the first popup I get is whether I accept cookies for data privacy. Yet they will seemingly get to send sensitive NHS data without consulting the respective owners of that information?
I'm certainly not pretending to be nowhere near knowledgeable about the topic, and it would be great to hear from someone that does, but it seems to me that the public has legal GDPR grounds on which to protest this data transfer? I, for one, certainly don't want Palantir holding my data.

Probably a dumb question, but - if every other entity in the EU has to comply with GDPR rules, why don't they have to? How is it that the government can pass the data so freely to Palantir? I know that GDPR won't apply anymore after the 1st of Jan, but it still applied during the transition period?
