Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
The ICO adjudicates on individual complaints. Individuals have a right under section 165 of the Data Protection Act to bring a complaint to the ICO.

However, the role of the ICO remains as a regulator, not an ombudsman. More often, the ICO use complaints to help build up a picture of a data controller’s general compliance which will then inform decisions as to whether we need to take more formal enforcement action.
