The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the United Kingdom’s independent authority responsible for upholding information rights in the public interest. Based in Wilmslow, England, it functions as a public-sector regulator focused on data privacy and openness in how public bodies handle information. The ICO rules on eligible complaints, offers guidance to individuals and organisations, and takes appropriate action when the law is breached. Within the regulatory and enforcement landscape, it concentrates on information rights and data privacy. In 2026 it began developing a statutory code of practice for AI and automated decision-making and plans to publish a practical public guide to help people make informed choices about AI services.
