ICO Will be able to fine spam call company directors

[Dos_Box]

This seems to be a very sensible decision.

The Information Commissionaires Office will now be able to fine the directors of companies who are found guilty of breaches of GDPR/DPA etc. even after they have folded their companies (as often happens).

This is related to PECR rather than GDPR/DPA, but it does show that ICO are sharpening their claws and happy to use their teeth.

 

They will also support other actions such as prosecutions against individuals, calling on CMA when needed ... so we can see where that affects GDPR/DPA.

So companies can't break the rules then fold, a la Cambridge Analytica. Good idea.
