    Default Data privacy code of practise

    The Information Commissioner's Office has published a code of practice for the collection of personal data online.
    It follows a succession of high profile date losses by public sector and Government departments.
    The Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham, said action would be taken against those breaching the Data Protection Act.
    But privacy campaigner Simon Davies said firms were not taking the rules seriously enough.
    In June 2010, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it remained "highly concerned" about the level of data loss in the NHS, which accounted for a quarter of all cases of Data Protection Act breaches reported to the body.
    "Everyone makes mistakes, but regrettably there are far too many within the NHS," said Mick Gorrill, head of enforcement at the ICO.
    "Health bodies must implement the appropriate procedures when storing and transferring patients' sensitive personal information," he added.
    An e-book, published by the ICO, outlines advice for businesses, departments, and charities who collect information that can identify an individual.
