Zarah Sultana’s Your Party membership launch may be ‘criminal’ matter for police, ICO says

Information watchdog says party’s data controller should consider ‘taking further action’ over unauthorised portal

Zarah Sultana’s unauthorised launch of a Your Party membership portal may have been “serious criminal activity” and should be referred to the police, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has advised.

Jeremy Corbyn’s Peace and Justice Project (PJP), which referred Your Party to the information watchdog last September over a potential data breach, has been advised by the ICO that it should consider “taking further action” regarding the matter, after deciding it was not a matter for them.
