The Information Commissioner’s powers to fine businesses who do not comply with the Data Protection Act has been increased. Look out for fines up to £500,000 if you lose people’s data or flout the Act. One way to comply withe Act is to have a Privacy Policy which alerts your customers or website visitors as to how you plan to use the personal details you collect from them. Ideally have a link to your Privacy Policy from every website page and get your customers to tick a box accepting the terms.
