Warrantless Premises Inspections Risk Privacy

The Authority can appoint inspectors to enter premises and conduct audits "within periods to be determined by the Authority" without specifying requirements for warrants, advance notice, or judicial authorization. This creates risk of intrusive searches of facilities containing sensitive personal data. The provision lacks appeal mechanisms or clear limits on inspection scope, allowing access to databases, communications systems, and detailed audit logs (10) without procedural safeguards standard in democratic jurisdictions. Combined with the bill's broad data sharing mandates, this establishes a surveillance framework that contradicts data protection principles despite 14's stated preservation of data subject rights.
