Home Affairs hit for not supplying personal data held
A government department has been fined for a repeated failure to supply personal data it held on an individual.
Information Commissioner Iain McDonald has imposed a fine of £12,250 on the Department of Home Affairs for the offence.
It's the first time such a penalty has been used since GDPR was introduced in 2018.
Mr McDonald says everyone has a fundamental right of access to personal data and believes this will serve as a warning to data holders:-
'Bleak future' for Manx businesses if people don't shop local
Declining amount of food production 'quite frightening'
Charity continuing to provide support to family of murdered teenager
'Significant progress' on Manxman repairs over the last week
