Information Commissioner's Office

The complainant has requested a consolidated version of the ICO’s privacy notice. The Information Commissioner's Office (‘the ICO’) stated that it did not hold its privacy notice in the requested format, and it provided a link to where the layered version of its privacy notice could be accessed. The Commissioner’s decision is that the ICO’s privacy notice is already reasonably accessible to the complainant and that, therefore, section 21 of FOIA is engaged. The Commissioner also finds that the ICO breached section 17 of FOIA by failing to provide a section 21 refusal notice within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
