The ICO exists to empower you through information.

Thank you, we have received your complaint. You will get an automated email from us confirming we have received it in the next 24 hours.

What happens next?

We will contact you within no more than 30 working day to provide you with a case reference number. We'll assign your complaint to a case officer as soon as we can.

If we're unable to accept your complaint, we will contact you to explain why. We may not accept your complaint if it is out of time (eg it has been more than six weeks of your last meaningful contact with the public authority), you have not requested an internal review or you have not provided us with the right information.
