Privacy and Electronic Communications

About the Regulations

Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 came into force on 11 December 2003. The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 superseded the Telecommunications (Data Protection and Privacy) Regulations 1999. The Information Commissioner is responsible for enforcing both the 2003 and the 1999 Regulations. The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 have 2 new rules for email marketing. You can also see what the regulations cover, your rights, and making a complaint. The Telecommunications Regulations 1999 imposed rules on the use of telecommunications services and gave effect to EU Directive 97/66/EC. One of the main aims of this directive was to ensure the: 'protection of fundamental rights and freedoms, and in particular the right to privacy, with respect to the processing of personal data in the telecommunications sector'.
