answer text <p>The Data Protection Act 1998 requires data controllers to register with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), unless they are exempt. A data controller is the person who determines why and how personal data will be processed and is normally an organisation but can be an individual, for example a sole trader or freelance journalist. The ICO’s website contains further guidance on who is required to register and the exemptions that apply. <a href="http://ico.org.uk/for_organisations/data_protection/registration" target="_blank">http://ico.org.uk/for_organisations/data_protection/registration</a></p> more like this
