Information Commissioner

An Information Commissioner is an independent official who oversees the handling of personal data and information by organizations, ensuring compliance with laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Their role includes protecting individuals' rights to privacy, promoting transparency, and addressing complaints related to data misuse. They can investigate organizations, issue fines for violations, and provide guidance on best practices for data protection. Essentially, the Information Commissioner helps maintain a balance between the public's right to know and the individual's right to privacy in the digital age.
