»Ê¼Ò»ªÈËcontacted the ICO this week, which has confirmed that:
- Courtesy letters are currently going out to agricultural businesses registered at Companies House, reminding them there may be a requirement to register.
- Members can phone the ICO Helpline 0303 123 1113 ext. 1700 (if they wish) and ICO will confirm if they sent the letter and explain the registration process.
- There is a scam letter in circulation at the moment from another company (no further details) charging £195. Therefore if you are unsure we recommend you contact the ICO Helpline to confirm.
