Definately not the Data Guardians of the Galaxy
I'd never heard of these "Guardians" before so a short googling gives this
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/national-data-guardian/about
TLDR - whilst they *might* be on the side of angels on most things they have no Veto, and it wouldn't take much to distort their charter imo, and they are NHS Only. So Im thinking Quango to re-assure the peasants.

Priorities
The NDG wants to build trust in the use of data across health and social care and is guided by these 3 main principles:
•encouraging clinicians and other members of care teams to share information to enable joined-up care, better diagnosis and treatment
•ensuring there are no surprises to the citizen about how their health and care data is being used and that they are given a choice about this
•building a dialogue with the public about how we all wish information to be used, to include a range of voices including commercial companies providing drugs and services to the NHS, researchers discovering new connections that transform treatments, and those managing the services
