INFORMATION

Title

DATA PROTECTION AGENCY

Summary of contents

 

An organisation operating under the name of ‘Data Protection Agency Service’ has been targeting schools with a final notice implying that the school is not registered with the Information Commissioner in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998, The Agency suggests that schools may be liable to a £5,000 fine for failure to register. They then offer their services to register  schools with the Information Commissioner for a fee of £95.

 

All schools are registered with The Data Protection Commissioner and renew their registration yearly with a fee of £35.

 

Any approach from the ‘Data Protection Service Agency’ should be ignored, do not respond to their ‘Final Notice’.
