Amendment No. 9 inserts a new section 26A into the Data Protection Act 2018 to provide a prohibition on disclosure of confidential information by persons engaging with the Data Protection Commission in connection with certain defined functions. The relevant functions include matters such as handling of complaints under sections 107 and 118, the carrying out of investigations under section 105 and the conducting of inquiries under sections 107 and 118. Confidential information is defined and concerns information that is commercially sensitive or given in confidence or information the disclosure of which would reasonably expected to prejudice the effectiveness and performance of a relevant function.

Amendment No. 18 updates the Long Title to reflect this additional amendment.
