Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is an independent body that upholds your information rights. It defines what information is in the public’s best interests and what should be kept private. Under the ICO, we have seen the introduction of the Data Protection Act, UK GDPR, and the Freedom of Information Act, all of which have been integral to shaping how your credit report can be used.
