UK’s data watchdog seeks views on regulatory sandbox
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has opened a call for views on its planned new ‘regulatory sandbox’. The watchdog first outlined its intention to establish the sandbox in its technology strategy for 2018-2021, published earlier this year, in which it said the scheme would allow eligible and participating companies to “develop innovative digital products and services, whilst engaging with the regulator, ensuring that appropriate protections and safeguards are in place”.
