Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ICO?

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the UK’s independent authority that enforces data protection laws including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Do non-UK residents also need to register?

Yes, even if you are based outside the UK, you must comply with UK data protection law and register with the ICO if you operate through a UK limited company (unless you meet the criteria for exemption).

What happens if I don’t register?

If you are required to register and fail to do so:

  • You may face a fine of up to £4,000
  • The ICO may take enforcement action against your organisation
  • It may damage your reputation and trust with customers and business partners

Staying compliant helps avoid penalties and demonstrates your commitment to data protection.

How do I check if I am exempt?

Most companies that process personal data are required to register with the ICO and pay a data protection fee. However, if you think you are exempt you can use the ICO’s online exemption checker.

This tool guides you through a short series of questions about your organisation and activities. At the end, it will tell you whether you need to register and pay the fee, or if you are exempt.
