    UK & EU Data Protection Bulletin: April 2021 UK & EU Data P rotection Bulletin Welcome to your monthly newsletter from Bird & Bird's UK Data Protection team In this month's newsletter, we bring you the following updates: United Kingdom ICO UK Cases UK Law EU EDPB CJEU Cases UK Enforcement ICO Enforcement UK & EU Data Protection Bulletin & 01 United Kingdom Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) Date Description 17 February 2021 Data analytics toolkit launched The toolkit is aimed at those using software to automatically discover patterns in data sets containing personal data – including use of AI (but not limited to this). The toolkit asks a series of questions to give guidance on lawfulness of processing; accountability and governance; data protection principles and data subject rights. The output is in the form of a report with tailored advice. ICO advises that use of the toolkit is anonymous and that ICO cannot view the information submitted to it. 9 March 2021 New Guidance on Political Campaigning ICO has published its final guidance on this, following a public consultation launched in October 2019. The Guidance summarises the impact of existing laws on political campaigning: it does not change the law. The guidance is aimed at those using political campaigning to engage with members of the public; it is not intended to apply to internal campaigns (for example, relating to leadership elections). The guidance contains useful commentary on who is regarded as a separate controller for data protection purposes – recapping earlier guidance which explained that – for example – elected representatives and candidates are regarded as separate controllers from the party of which they are a member.
