Data Protection License

Hi -

Where can I purchase one of these online? For a reasonable price ;) Also.. I have three different sites, do I need a seperate license for each site or just one?

Thanks,

Ash

    Try the Information Commissioner's website - this is the ONLY legal requirement.

    Why do you think you need one?

    Because I have 8500 users registered and have all of their names, emails and addresses.

    Ah ... then, yes, I think you probably do need to register as a Data Controller :)

    Firstly, you might find this factsheet about collecting information via a website useful.

    And this should have all you need to know about notification. For the Data Protection Act, you don't buy a license - you "notify" the Information Commission that you are a data controller.

    When you're ready, you need to follow this process
