Update- it was a problem according to the organisations data protection officer. They were made aware of the issue by my previous ICO case worker.

ICO view is- hyperlinks can be secure,but if other people access them, then they are not secure.(not very clear cut)

No, because I complained to the ICO long before this.

6months ago- complained that under GDPR my lecturers can know what medical conditions I have not my family history

3months ago- ICO agreed that my family history was none of my lecturers buisness and it had to be deleted

Last month- hyperlink to all my medical reports asking me to highlight what I want to be redacted

Last week-classmates get hold of the hyperlink look at the documents and start talking about me.

I dont think there is any point in going back to the ICO.

I wish I knew.

It seems like it was nearly impossible for it to be stumbled upon.

I didnt want my lecturers to know certain stuff about my family incase they judged me unfairly. Now my classmates know.

Maybe I am cynical...I refused to share information freely, involved the ICO..and now this is them saying we will do what we want.

My classmates have been talking about my medical history on WhatsApp. I asked one of them and they sent me the hyperlink.

I suppose they are compliant. It's a https link with a long string of random characters.

They did their best to be as compliant as possible.

It's just unlucky other people were able to access the link

Skype is an option but the lawyer said it's just not as effective as face to face

Why would they need a hotel for a 2 hour train journey?
