New role for outgoing Commissioner

The Office of the Data Protection Authority (ODPA) would like to congratulate outgoing Commissioner Emma Martins on her appointment as the new Chief Commissioner of the UK Data & Marketing Commission (DMC).

The DMC is the independent body that oversees and enforces the Data & Marketing (DMA) Code.

Led by the Chief Commissioner, the DMC investigates and adjudicates on reported breaches of the DMA Code by DMA members. The team of commissioners work to ensure responsible and ethical marketing practices are maintained.

Bailiwick of Guernsey Deputy Data Protection Commissioner Rachel Masterton commented: “Although it is a cliché, it does not make it any less true - the ODPA’s loss is the DMC’s gain. Emma will be missed by the team and the community but it is great to see her secure a role to which she can bring her inimitable mix of professionalism, ethics and integrity.”
