The Data Protection Act 2018 makes it a criminal offense to obtain, disclose or retain personal data without the consent of the data controller.
The Information Commissioner's Office can carry out criminal investigations and prosecute individuals who it believes may have committed a crime.
Violation reports are typically evaluated by our criminal investigation team and a decision is made as to whether to proceed in accordance with our regulatory action policy.
This decision includes considering whether there is sufficient evidence to support prosecution and whether it is in the public interest to do so.
Kate also has the option of filing a private civil suit and possibly seeking damages.
Police have investigative powers and will usually prosecute under data protection laws if other crimes are being prosecuted at the same time.
