Case Reference: IC-223805-V3V8 

Dear Abdul Hai, 

Thank you for your e-mail of 27 March 2023. In your correspondence, you
asked us for:

“Have you since 01/01/2020 conducted any reviews into the use of AI? If so
can you publish the findings along with methodology used?.”

It is unclear from your email what information your requesting from the
ICO. Could you please clarify what you mean by "reviews into the use of
AI"? You can find details of the work that we have carried out into the
use of AI on our website here: [1]Our work on Artificial Intelligence |
ICO

Once you have provided this clarification we will be able to continue
handling your request. This will mean providing you with a response within
20 working days of the date of this additional information. If we do not
received clarification within a month of this email, the case will be
closed. 

Yours sincerely,

Thank you for contacting the Information Commissioner’s Office. We confirm
that we have received your correspondence. If you have any special
requirements that mean you would like us to communicate with you in a
specific way, please let us know and we will make adjustments if we can.

 

 

If you have made a new complaint - we’re unlikely to look into it unless
you have raised it with the responsible organization (for a data
protection complaint) or the responsible public authority (for a freedom
of information complaint) first. Please make sure you have sent us a copy
of their final response to you. We will assign your complaint to a case
officer as soon as we can, and they will contact you in due course.

 

 

If your correspondence relates to an existing case - we will add it to
your case and consider it on allocation to a case officer. If you believe
we have either failed to take appropriate steps to respond to your data
protection complaint, or we do not provide you with information about the
progress or outcome of your complaint within the next three months, you
may be able to apply to the First-tier Tribunal to require us to respond
to your complaint or to provide you with information about its progress.
(www.gov.uk - information rights and data protection: appeal against the
Information Commissioner)

 

 

If you have asked us for advice - we will respond within 14 days. While
you wait, you should regularly check our website ([1]www.ico.org.uk) for
relevant guidance, as we are updating this all the time. You should read
our [2]Guide to the UK GDPR. If you have raised a question that we have
answered on our website, we may respond by sending you a link to it. But
will do our best to provide you with the information you need.

 

 

If you represent an organisation and you are reporting a personal data
breach under the GDPR or the Data Protection Act 2018 - we aim to contact
you within seven days to confirm receipt and to provide you with a case
reference number. If you want advice urgently, you should telephone our
helpline on 0303 123 1113. If we consider the incident is minor or you
have indicated that you do not consider it meets the threshold for
reporting, you may not receive a response from us, or we may respond by
sending you a link to the relevant part of our guidance. You can find out
more about data breach reporting on our website.

 

Where a significant cyber incident occurs, you may also need to report
this to the National Cyber Security Centre (the NCSC). To help you decide,
you should read the NCSC’s guidance about their role and the type of
incidents that you should consider reporting. (www.ncsc.gov.uk
-incident-management)

 

Incidents that might lead to a heightened risk of individuals being
affected by fraud, should be reported to Action
Fraud (www.actionfraud.police.uk) - the UK’s national fraud and cybercrime
reporting centre. If your organisation is in Scotland, then reports should
be made to Police Scotland (www.scotland.police.uk).

 

 

 

If you are a Communications Service Provider reporting a security breach
under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations – you will
need to report the security breach via the secure portal that can be found
on the PECR pages of our website.

 

 

If you represent an organisation and are reporting a potential incident
under the NIS Directive - we will contact you as soon as we can. You can
find out more about the NIS Regulations on our website.

 

 

If you represent an organization and you are reporting a security breach
within the definition of the eIDAS regulation – we will contact you as
soon as we can. You can find out more about the eIDAS regulation on our
website.

 

If you have reported spam email – we are unlikely to need to contact you
again, unless we need more information to help with our investigations. We
publish details about the action we've taken on nuisance messages on our
website.

 

 

 

If you have asked for information you think we might hold - we will
contact you if we need any more information to help us respond. Otherwise,
we will respond within our public and statutory service levels. For more
information please visit our webpage ‘request information from us’ (go to
our homepage and follow the link for ‘about the ICO’ and ‘our
information’).

 

 

 

If you have only copied your correspondence to us - we will not respond.

 

 

 

There is more detailed information, including information on our current
response times, on our service standards and what to expect webpage. You
can also call 0303 123 1113, we welcome calls in Welsh on 029 2067 8400.
You can also contact us on live chat (please visit our webpage ‘contact
us’ and ‘live chat’).

Diolch yn fawr ichi am gysylltu â Swyddfa’r Comisiynydd Gwybodaeth. Rydym
yn cadarnhau bod eich gohebiaeth wedi dod i law. Os oes gennych unrhyw
ofynion arbennig sy'n golygu yr hoffech i ni gyfathrebu â chi mewn ffordd
benodol, rhowch wybod i ni a byddwn yn gwneud addasiadau os gallwn.

 

 

Os ydych wedi gwneud cwyn newydd – dydyn ni ddim yn debygol o edrych i
mewn iddo oni bai eich bod wedi’i godi’n gyntaf gyda’r sefydliad cyfrifol
(cwyn am ddiogelu data) neu’r awdurdod cyhoeddus cyfrifol (cwyn am ryddid
gwybodaeth). Gofalwch eich bod wedi anfon copi aton ni o’u hymateb
terfynol ichi. Byddwn yn rhoi’ch achos i swyddog achosion cyn gynted ag y
gallwn, a bydd y swyddog yn cysylltu â chi maes o law.

 

 

 

Os yw’ch gohebiaeth yn ymwneud ag achos sydd eisoes yn bod - byddwn yn ei
hychwanegu at eich achos ac fe gaiff ei hystyried ar ôl cael ei dyrannu i
swyddog achosion. Os ydych yn credu ein bod ni naill ai wedi methu cymryd
camau priodol i ymateb i'ch cwyn diogelu data, neu heb ddarparu gwybodaeth
ichi am gynnydd neu ganlyniad eich cwyn o fewn y tri mis nesaf, efallai y
byddwch yn gallu gwneud cais i'r Tribiwnlys Haen Gyntaf i’w gwneud yn
ofynnol inni ICO ymateb i'ch cwyn neu ddarparu gwybodaeth ichi am gynnydd
eich cwyn. (www.gov.uk - information rights and data protection: appeal
against the Information Commissioner)

 

 

Os ydych wedi gofyn am gyngor – byddwn yn ymateb o fewn 14 diwrnod. Tra
byddwch yn aros, dylech edrych yn rheolaidd ar ein [3]gwefan
([4]www.ico.org.uk) i chwilio am ganllawiau perthnasol, gan eu bod yn cael
eu diweddaru drwy’r amser. Hefyd dylech ddarllen ein [5]blogiau ynghylch
‘mythau’r GDPR’. Os ydych wedi codi cwestiwn sydd wedi’i ateb ar ein
gwefan, mae’n bosibl y byddwn yn ymateb drwy anfon dolen atoch i gysylltu
â’r ateb.  Ond fe wnawn ein gorau glas i roi’r wybodaeth angenrheidiol
ichi

 

 

Os ydych yn cynrychioli sefydliad a’ch bod yn rhoi gwybod am drosedd data
personol o dan y GDPR neu Ddeddf Diogelu Data 2018 – rydym yn anelu at
gysylltu â chi o fewn saith niwrnod calendr i gadarnhau bod eich neges
wedi dod i law ac i roi rhif cyfeirnod achos ichi. Os oes arnoch eisiau
cyngor ar frys, dylech ffonio’n llinell gymorth ar 0303 123 1113. Os ydym
o’r farn bod y digwyddiad yn un mân neu os ydych chi wedi nodi nad ydych
o’r farn bod y digwyddiad yn cyrraedd y trothwy i roi gwybod amdano, mae’n
bosibl na chewch ymateb gennym, neu efallai y byddwn yn ymateb drwy anfon
dolen atoch i gysylltu â’r rhan berthnasol o'n canllawiau. Cewch ragor o
wybodaeth am roi gwybod am droseddau data ar ein gwefan.

 

 

Pan fo digwyddiad seibr arwyddocaol yn digwydd, mae’n bosibl y bydd angen
ichi roi gwybod amdano hefyd i’r Ganolfan Seiberddiogelwch Genedlaethol
(yr NCSC). I’ch helpu i benderfynu, dylech ddarllen canllawiau’r NCSC ar
eu rôl a’r math o ddigwyddiadau y dylech ystyried rhoi gwybod amdanyn nhw.
(www.ncsc.gov.uk -incident-management)

 

 

Dylai digwyddiadau a allai arwain at risg uwch y bydd twyll yn effeithio
ar unigolion gael eu cyfleu i Action Fraud (www.actionfraud.police.uk) –
sef canolfan genedlaethol y Deyrnas Unedig ar gyfer rhoi gwybod am dwyll a
seiberdroseddau. Os yw eich sefydliad yn yr Alban, yna i Heddlu’r Alban y
dylech chi roi gwybod (www.scotland.police.uk).

 

 

Os ydych yn Ddarparwr Gwasanaethau Cyfathrebu sy’n rhoi gwybod am dor
diogelwch o dan y Rheoliadau Preifatrwydd a Chyfathrebu Electronig – bydd
angen ichi roi gwybod am y tor diogelwch drwy’r [6]porth diogel sydd ar
gael ar y tudalennau ar ein gwefan sy’n ymwneud â’r PECR.

 

 

Os ydych yn cynrychioli sefydliad a’ch bod yn rhoi gwybod am ddigwyddiad
posibl o dan Gyfarwyddeb yr NIS – byddwn yn cysylltu â chi cyn gynted ag y
gallwn. Cewch ragor o wybodaeth am Reoliadau’r NIS ar ein gwefan.

 

 

Os ydych yn cynrychioli sefydliad a’ch bod yn rhoi gwybod am dor diogelwch
o fewn y diffiniad yn Rheoliad eIDAS – byddwn yn cysylltu â chi cyn gynted
ag y gallwn. Cewch ragor o wybodaeth am Reoliad eIDAS ar ein gwefan.

 

Os ydych wedi rhoi gwybod am ebost sbam – mae’n annhebygol y bydd angen
inni gysylltu â chi eto, oni bai bod arnon ni angen rhagor o wybodaeth i
helpu yn ein hymchwiliad. Rydym yn cyhoeddi gwybodaeth am y camau rydyn ni
wedi’u cymryd ynghylch negeseuon niwsans ar ein gwefan.

 

 

Os ydych wedi gofyn am wybodaeth yr ydych yn credu ei bod gennyn ni –
byddwn yn cysylltu â chi os bydd arnom angen rhagor o wybodaeth i’n helpu
i ymateb. Fel arall, byddwn yn ymateb ichi o fewn ein lefelau gwasanaeth
statudol a chyhoeddus. I gael rhagor o wybodaeth, ewch i’n tudalen gwe
‘request information from us’ (ewch i’n tudalen hafan a dilynwch y ddolen
‘about the ICO’ ac ‘our information’).

 

 

Os ydych wedi anfon copi o’ch gohebiaeth aton ni ond dim byd arall –
fyddwn ni ddim yn ymateb.

 

Mae gwybodaeth fanylach, gan gynnwys gwybodaeth am ein hamserau ymateb
presennol, ar ein tudalen gwe safonau gwasanaeth a beth i’w ddisgwyl.
Gallwch ffonio hefyd yn y Gymraeg ar 0303 123 1113 opsiwn 9 neu yn Saesneg
ar 0303 123 1113. Gallwch gysylltu â ni hefyd i gael sgwrs fyw (ewch i’n
tudalen gwe ‘contact us’ a ‘live chat’).

 

I gael gwybodaeth am yr hyn rydyn ni’n ei wneud â data personol, gweler
ein hysbysiad preifatrwydd: https://ico.org.uk/global/privacy-notice/

 

 

Yn gywir
