This is one of THE most important pieces of legislation, affecting each and every business. The full terms of the Act can be found here.

The act is policed by the ‘Information Commissioners Office‘

The Data Protection Act 1998 requires every organisation that processes personal information to register with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), unless they are exempt. Failure to do so is a criminal offence.

The ICO administers the public register containing over 370,000 data controllers. You can search the register here.

If your business is not registered, register here. SDR is here to assist your business to comply with the Data protection Act.
