The Regulatory Sandbox is a free service developed by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), to support organisations who are creating products and services which utilise personal data in innovative and safe ways.
If you’re part of an organisation that’s tackling complex data protection considerations as you create innovative new products and services, the ICO’s Regulatory Sandbox team wants to hear from you.
The ICO are accepting expressions of interest until 31 December 2023, under the current areas of focus below:
Expressions of interest will be assessed on the basis of whether the product or service being developed is innovative and could provide a demonstrable benefit to the public. Whether you’re a start-up, SME or larger organisation, in the private, public or voluntary sectors, the ICO would love to hear from you.
Further details on the Sandbox, its benefits, eligibility criteria and the application process can be found in the Guide to the Sandbox on the ICO website or by emailing the team at sandbox@ico.org.uk.
