Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what research they have done about the public understanding of and support for the General Data Protection Regulation requirements.

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is responsible for promoting public understanding of the General Data Protection Regulation rights and rules. The ICO's Your Data Matters campaign is a long-term campaign to help the public understand their data rights.

The government published research on the benefits arising from personal data rights under the Regulation, including the public's privacy preferences. This research, which I attach, is available at https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/635701/PersonalDataRights_LE_-_for_Data_Protection_Bill__1_.pdf
