Data protection fee non-payment trends report

Action we've taken

In November 2018, we issued our first monetary penalties to organisations that have not paid the data protection fee. Most organisations that process personal data must pay a fee and we can take action against those that don't. We issue a monetary penalty based on the fee the organisation should have paid. We issued:

103 monetary penalties for non-payment in 2018

85 organisations a monetary penalty of £400

2 organisations a monetary penalty of £600

16 organisations a monetary penalty of £4,000
