Hello, and welcome to ‘What Is The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)?’. This video forms part of a series of Data Breach Compensation Claims. Here at legalExpert.co.uk, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in data breach claims being brought and because of this, we’ve decided to produce a series of videos which aim to educate on the basics of data breaches along with data breach compensation claims. If you believe that you’ve been the victim of a data breach, please do not hesitate to contact our specialist team via our freephone helpline 0800 652 7676 where they’ll aim to get you the help that you need. So, let’s take a look at What Is The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is a non-profit organisation tasked with enforcing GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 compliance. They're also in charge of ensuring compliance with other regulations, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and others.
If you suspect you've been a victim of a data breach, the ICO suggests contacting the company directly to file a complaint. If nothing comes of your complaint, you can file a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), ideally within three months of the last time you heard from the organisation.
As we've seen, the ICO has the power to levy large fines, such as the £20 million it handed down to British Airways. Above all, the ICO aims to ensure that laws are followed. They offer advice and ideas on how businesses can address data security issues.
The ICO, on the other hand, is unable to compensate you for a data breach. To do so, you'd have to stake a claim on your own.
