Between 1 January 2019 and 31 March 2019, we issued 123 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. Of these organisations:

• 110 were issued with a monetary penalty of £400.
• 6 were issued with a monetary penalty of £600.
• 7 were issued with a monetary penalty of £4000.
