Lesson 2 • Private versus public
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the UK’s independent
public authority set up to uphold information rights. We do this by promoting
good practice, ruling on complaints, providing information to individuals and
organisations and taking appropriate action when the law is broken.
Lesson 2 • Private versus public
