Personal Information on Line : New Code of Practice

July 30th, 2010 by Clare McCauley

All online businesses need to be aware of their obligations under the Data Protection Act 1990.   The Information Commissioner’s Office has produced an online code of practice to explain how the DPA 1998 applies to the collection and use of personal data online. It also provides good practical advice for organisations that do business online.  The code can be found at www.ipo.gov.uk.
