It's an act that stops the man on the street from checking what's going on. Any government body can use it and share the info with other state bodies. IE; your council tax details are shared with the DWP and the local council. Your council can check you, your family, friends if for instance you apply for a job or submit a tender. In other words all officials but not the common man can look at it.
