Last week the Information Regulator published the guidancenote-on-information-officer-20210401, including instructions on how to register your business’ Information Officer with the Information Regulator. Registration can take place from 1 May 2021 onwards.
The Guidance Note also provides more details regarding the responsibilities and liabilities (including possible criminal liability) of the Information Officer and who may fulfil this position. Notably, for non-government entities, the Information Officer must be an employee of the entity at an executive level or equivalent position at management level.
