Blog: Regulating through a pandemic and beyond

A blog by James Dipple-Johnston, Deputy Commissioner – Chief Regulatory Officer 27 July 2021 When the ICO’s management team met at the start of the pandemic, to discuss how COVID-19 could impact the ICO’s work, our top priority was providing clarity to those we regulate. We knew that, in uncertain times, organisations needed us to be clear about how we would regulate, and what they could expect to see us do differently. That is why we published a document setting out our regulatory approach during the pandemic. We wanted to clearly…

Blog: Data Protection law can help create public trust and confidence around COVID-status certification schemes

A blog from Elizabeth Denham, Information Commissioner 26 March 2021 From contact tracing apps to temperature checks at airports, from businesses recording customers’ details to organisations sharing health data to help the vulnerable, it is clear that the responsible use of personal data has been vital in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Public trust has been at the heart of each of these projects, and I am pleased that the ICO has been able to help organisations earn that trust by providing pragmatic advice to ensure data is used in a…

Blog: Building on the data sharing code – our plans for updating our anonymisation guidance

A blog by Ali Shah, Head of Technology Policy 19 March 2021 Data is the lifeblood of the digital economy, and the sharing of personal data is key to opening up new opportunities. Data shared in healthcare environments can map out trends and provide new insights to improve patient care, while in the financial sector, data sharing can help to protect against money laundering and ensure individuals are protected from fraud. In our experience, organisations want to use and share data in a safe and legally compliant way, but can…

Blog: Supporting UK democracy through data protection with new political campaigning guidance

A blog from Elizabeth Denham, Information Commissioner 9 March 2021 In a year where the challenges of the pandemic have prompted digital innovation in so many aspects of our lives, it is no surprise that campaigning for the upcoming elections in England, Scotland and Wales will be a little different. Electoral Commission data has already shown a rapid acceleration in the use of digital political advertising over the past five years. The limitations on traditional door-to-door canvassing and static advertising due to the pandemic will make technological approaches even more…

Guest blog: Working for a regulator like the ICO

01 March 2021 If you work in digital technology, as a researcher, software developer, or designer, you have probably considered the impact of what you are building on rights, freedoms, and the public interest. Navigating this complicated terrain requires a mixture of people with different skills and experience including legal, policy, and technology expertise. But as increasingly complex technologies and data flows are integrated into consequential decisions in society, there is a greater need for technologists to explain technology and highlight where engineering and design choices will create significant impacts…

Blog: Ambition can raise global data protection standards to benefit us all

Amid a busy start to 2021, Data Protection Day provides an opportunity to step back and reflect on the continued lifting of data protection standards around the world. January 28 was selected by the Council of Europe for this annual awareness day in recognition of the date that Convention 108 was first opened for signature in 1981. The convention is a commitment to a set of baseline standards around data protection and privacy. And the convention’s value has grown as its reach has increased, with ever more countries committing to…

Blog: Information Commissioner looks ahead to 2021

25 January 2021 While January is always a month for looking ahead, it feels like no discussions of plans for 2021, professionally or personally, are possible without the mention of lockdown, vaccinations or talk of when ‘all this is finished’. I expect that will also be true of my appearance before the DCMS Select Committee this week. But for all the challenges, I am pleased there is a positive story to tell about the ICO’s upcoming work. The ICO’s immediate focus remains supporting organisations through the impacts of COVID 19.…

Blog: Maintaining data flows for a digital world

Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham looks at the data protection aspects of the recently agreed UK-EU trade agreement. 22 January 2021 The digital world has few borders. When a woman in Manchester watches a video clip on her phone, it’s likely that the delivery of that video clip content to her is because of personal data. She can be accessing content made anywhere in the world and targeted to her based on a personal profile, on an app designed in Japan, with her personal data held on servers in the US,…
