Recently UK Information Commissioner Office (ICO) published several GDPR guidances and requests for public feedback.
In March ICO published draft guidance on consent under the EU GDPR. Guidance was opened for public feedback till March 31, and ICO now aims to publish this guidance in May 2017.

Reed the feedback on ICO’s guidelines:
In April ICO published its feedback request on profiling and automated decision-making. It represents ICO’s initial thoughts on certain aspects of profiling in the GDPR, however, ICO warns, it should not be interpreted as guidance. Responses will help to form ICO’s contribution to the WP29 guidelines that will be published later this year.
The discussion paper published today highlights the key areas of profiling we feel need further consideration. This includes subjects like marketing, the right to object and data minimisation – and we want your feedback. We’d like to hear the views of our stakeholders and get examples of best practice before 28 April 2017.
