The Information Data Office (ICO) is the UK’s independent authority set up to uphold information rights in the public interest and promote openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals.
LabLog is registered with the ICO as a Data Controller, and under the Data Protection Act, it requires every data controller who is processing personal information to register with the ICO unless they are exempt.
Firms that have registered with ICO are added to the public register on the Information Commissioner’s website which contains the name and address of data controllers and a description of the kind of processing they do. This keeps organizations open and transparent, which equates to more consumer and user trust in regards to the handling and storage of their personal data.
We live in a data-driven world and sharing data helps make life easier, more convenient, and connected, so it is important to make sure your information is safe and secure and that the organizations you are sharing it with are being responsible.
LabLog’s registration number with the ICO is ZB105641 — if you would like to learn more about data security and hear about our Electronic Lab Notebook platform, please get in touch with us at help@labnotebook.app
