GPS tracking devices allowed the Home Office to collect vast amounts of personal data to make decisions on asylum and immigration applications.

Continued thread

Our survey of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers with Positive Action in Housing found that most people worry about the UK government sharing their data with third-party organisations.
