The potential data sharing came to light following a review of contracts and data-handling practices. The arrangement, which involved the transfer of participant records to the US-based data analytics company, has raised concerns among privacy advocates and lawmakers. Officials have stated that the data was shared for the purpose of improving service delivery and detecting fraud, but they have not ruled out the possibility that sensitive personal details were accessed without proper consent.
