In the margins of this year's Global Privacy Assembly, organised in Seoul by the Personal Protection Commission of the Republic of Korea, the IDPC and the Information Commissioner of the Isle of Man have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen their existing relations and to promote exchanges to assist each other in the delivery of their regulatory functions.

The MoU provides a framework for the Commissioners to cooperate in a way that supports their data-driven economies while protecting the fundamental rights of citizens in Malta and the Isle of Man, in accordance with their applicable data protection laws. It also establishes mechanisms for regular communication on matters of mutual interest, share knowledge and consult each other on issues that have a significant implication on both offices, and cooperate with respect to the enforcement of their respective applicable data protection laws.
