25 April 2008 - Commissioner seeks comments on 2005 Law

The Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005 was brought into force in December 2005. The Law contained provisions for a period of transition before it was to come into full force, in recognition of the significant changes in legal requirements. That period is due to expire in December 2008.

In advance of that date, the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner is undertaking a review of the Law with a view to making a number of minor amendments. We would therefore welcome any comments from individuals or organisations highlighting areas where it is considered there is room for improvement or opportunity for clarification.

Any comments should be made in writing and sent either by post or e-mail to the Data Protection Commissioner. Contact details can be found by clicking here.
