What We Stand For

NO2ID is a campaigning organisation. We are a single-

issue group focussed on the threat to liberty and privacy
posed by the rapid growth of the database state, of
which "ID cards" were the most visible part. We are
entirely independent. We do not endorse any party, nor
campaign on any other topic.
We aim to publicise the case against state control of
personal identity among the general public, in the
media, and at every level in government. NO2ID's
members are from all sorts of backgrounds and hold all
sorts of opinions on other questions. They almost
certainly include people much like you. Please support
us.
NO2ID comment
Why NO2ID must carry on
National ID cards are gone. But the infrastructure
survives as the biometric permits for foreign residents.
Mass-surveillance has not disappeared. The coalition's
promises to "roll back the database state" are
ineffectual. Indeed official demands for personal
information are multiplying:
Travel by car or motorbike and your number plate is
read by a network of cameras and that record of
movements passed to a central store.
Leave or enter the country and all travel details you
give will be put on a database that is available to
dozens of UK and foreign agencies. The UK is
lobbying for this to be written into EU law.
Visit the doctor and the details may be captured. A
new agency is planned to continue centralising and
sharing of medical records, expanding the role of the
existing Health and Social Care Information Centre.
Monitoring of telephone and internet use continues
to increase; all 'traffic data' is now kept for
inspection, by law.
Ever more public bodies are getting powers to share
the information they have about you, on fine-
sounding pretexts.
And
To tie it all together, perhaps, a more subtle
government scheme for "identity assurance" is on the

could be harmless; or it could be very bad news
indeed for privacy and personal liberty.
Please help us now
NO2ID identified the dangers of "the database state"
back in 2004. It is still the only organisation specifically
dedicated to tackling it. Some people think it is all over.
But privacy needs defending more than ever. We will
continue to oppose dangerous new schemes, but also
press for positive changes:
protections in law for privacy that are available to
everyone
the right to control your own personal information
entitlement to compensation if your privacy is
abused
We have done much in the last six years. We can do
more. But we need your help. If you think privacy is
worth fighting for, then please support us.
What you need to know about the
Database State
The 'database state' is what we
call the tendency to try to use
computers to manage society by
watching people. There are
many interlocking government
plans that do this. Together they
mean officials poking into your
private life more than ever
before.
The list of database state initiatives on which NO2ID is
campaigning, along with a wide range of other
organisations, is here.
There was a lot of confusion about the government's
proposed National Identity Scheme, and it didn't help
that the Home Office often gave misleading information.
Our summary of the scheme is here.
Answers to selected Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
are here.
