"I consistently practice discretion. If I have documents like a passport, I angle them so only I can see them. I don't say things out loud unless necessary. Be filtered and consistent. There is no point in embarrassing anyone, let alone myself, by being sloppy."

Border Force makes the limitations, protections, and resources customers have regarding the collection of their data quite clear online. They also allow the public to file a concern or complaint. Familiarize yourself with how transparent they are in this regard and your limitations as a Border Force Officer. Then share an example of how you have ensured the protection of others' personal data in the past in "the highest possible standards of professionalism" the Border Force expects of their officers.

"The processing of personal data is governed by data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation and other relevant legislation. When we ask you for personal information, we ensure that: You know why we need it and what we are going to do with it. You know how to tell us that you object to us processing your information and how to tell us if the information we hold about you is not correct or you want us to erase it. You know how to contact us and our data protection officer. You know how to complain to the Information Commissioner if you are not satisfied with the way we process your information."
"We only ask for what we need and don't collect too much or irrelevant information. We protect it and make sure nobody has access to it who shouldn't. We don't keep it longer than necessary. We only share it with other organisations when there is an identified need, and it is lawful to do so. It's not made available for commercial use without your permission."
