The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has robust processes in place to ensure compliance with the rules governing the processing of personal data included in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.<\/p>

<\/p>

The implementation of the GDPR required no specific changes to the robust controls already operated by the DVLA in relation to the lawful sharing of data with authorised third parties. The law allows vehicle keeper details to be disclosed to third parties, including private parking companies, who can demonstrate that they have a reasonable cause to receive it, and any charges levied are to cover costs of processing requests.<\/p>

<\/p>

The DVLA\u2019s privacy policy is available online at: www.gov.uk/dvla/privacy-policy<\/a> and provides data subjects with detailed information on who the DVLA shares information with, rather than contacting individuals whenever information is shared.

The Information Commissioner performs her regulatory functions independently of Government. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport does not hold operational data on the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office\u2019s (ICO) enforcement activity and is unable to to provide detail on specific complaints or investigations on behalf of the Commissioner. The ICO does, however, publish a range of management information about enforcement activity they have undertaken and numbers of complaints received and addressed on their website (ico.org.uk). Enquiries about specific cases can be made directly to the ICO using the general enquiry form available on their website.<\/p>

The arrangements governing the release of Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) data aim to strike a balance between protecting personal data and allowing vehicle keepers to be contacted by those with a legitimate need to do so.<\/p>

The law allows the DVLA to release vehicle keeper details to third parties who can demonstrate that they have a reasonable cause to receive it. The DVLA operates a range of safeguards to protect personal data and to ensure it is used appropriately, including regular audits.<\/p>

The fees levied for the release of data are intended to recover the full cost of providing the information, so that the DVLA neither profits at the expense of customers nor makes a loss which taxpayers must then subsidise.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-11-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-12T14:35:04.29Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-11-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency: Data Protection"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will make an assessment of the merits of allowing the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency to sell personal data to third parties; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4488", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Martyn Day"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Linlithgow and East Falkirk"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Martyn Day"} ], "uin" : "188879"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/984954", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/984954/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has robust measures in place to protect the data it holds. The release of DVLA\u2019s data is subject to a formal assessment to ensure that there are adequate policies, procedures and technical controls in place to protect it. Data Protection Impact Assessments are completed to identify and address any privacy risks and ensure that personal data is only processed in compliance with the law.<\/p>

<\/p>

Recipients of vehicle keeper information must handle the data in accordance with clear terms and conditions. Where recipients pass the information onto another company, there must be a formal contract in place to provide assurance over the use and security of the data. The original recipient retains overall responsibility for the use of the data by its sub-contractors.<\/p>

<\/p>

The DVLA carries out its own comprehensive audits, involving both remote and on-site audits in conjunction with the Government Internal Audit Agency. This helps to ensure that information provided by the DVLA is used only in accordance with its terms and conditions. Failure to comply can result in denied access to the information.<\/p>

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) takes the protection of the data it holds very seriously and has measures in place to protect it. These measures vary depending on the service used and the sensitivity of the data provided.<\/p>

<\/p>

All DVLA\u2019s data release services are subject to a formal assessment before they are made available for use. This ensures that there are adequate policies as well as procedural and technical controls in place to protect the data. Privacy Impact Assessments are also completed to identify and address any privacy risks associated with the service and ensure that personal data is processed in compliance with the law.<\/p>
