This joint statement from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) sets out their shared views on the close and often complex relationship between these issues and on the importance of close working between the two organisations on these matters in the coming years, as well as highlighting the progress that they have already made. The matters addressed in this document are complex and rapidly evolving, and they therefore expect their views and responses to these challenges will need to evolve as well.
