Guernsey's data protection regulator, the Office of the Data
Protection Authority (ODPA) is shortly to move to new premises in
St. Peter Port, Guernsey.
Whilst most services will continue as usual, the popular
"drop in" sessions will be suspended until late August.
The breakfast workshops will continue from July.
Email and telephone contact will remain unaffected (and the
details unchanged).
The move enables the ODPA to move to premises to match the
team's growth and provides a more modern outlook for the
future.
Whilst that is of itself useful to know, for most of us, the
main impact is the need to update our privacy notices and/or
internal policies to reflect the new contact details. This is
particularly important in terms of information communicated to data
subjects, to avoid the risk of data being sent to the wrong
address. In addition, we recommend that breach response policies
are updated, as the last thing you want to be worried about in a
crisis
