The ICO exists to empower you through information.

Research and reports

The research may not reflect the ICO’s views or policies (and we cannot guarantee its accuracy) but is intended to help us understand the nature and range of matters we may need to address and it may inform our decision making. It may also be used to help us create relevant policy, guidance and information to address current issues of concern.

Children’s Data Lives research

Children’s Data Lives provides the ICO with a foundational understanding of how children navigate the online world and how their behaviours intersect with their data rights. The research explores children’s awareness and perspectives on data, as well as the importance they place on privacy.
