ICO Issues Monetary Penalty Notice under DPR 1998

Dixons Carphone PLC

Information Commissioner's Office issues Monetary Penalty Notice under Data Protection Act 1998

DSG Retail Limited, a subsidiary of Dixons Carphone plc, has today received a Monetary Penalty Notice from the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in relation to the historic unauthorised access of customer data previously announced on 13 June 2018 and 31 July 2018. The ICO has imposed a fine of £500,000 under the Data Protection Act 1998.

Dixons Carphone Chief Executive, Alex Baldock, said: "We are very sorry for any inconvenience this historic incident caused to our customers. When we found the unauthorised access to data, we promptly launched an investigation, added extra security measures and contained the incident. We duly notified regulators and the police and communicated with all our customers. We have no confirmed evidence of any customers suffering fraud or financial loss as a result. 

We have upgraded our detection and response capabilities and, as the ICO acknowledges, we have made significant investment in our Information Security systems and processes.

We are disappointed in some of the ICO's key findings which we have previously challenged and continue to dispute. We're studying their conclusions in detail and considering our grounds for appeal."

 

Next announcement

The Group will publish its Peak Trading Statement on Tuesday 21 January 2020.
