Data Sharing

Data protection law enables organisations and businesses to share personal data securely, fairly and proportionately. The Information Commissioner's Office (the "ICO") has a Data Sharing Code of Practice and the resources available at their Data Sharing Information Hub provide detailed guidance and tools to aid data sharing in compliance with data protection law.

A step-by-step guide to data sharing is available online.

There are many misconceptions and fears around data sharing, and the ICO have a helpful page exploring these at Data sharing myths busted.
