Overview of Data Protection Harms and the ICO's Taxonomy (ICO)

A research paper from the ICO

Abstract

Discussion of data protection issues frequently involves the use of the term ‘harm’. The Information Commissioner’s Office’s (ICO) Harm Project seeks to improve the understanding of harm in a data protection context. In this document, we set out our framework for harms, our evidence base, and a taxonomy of data protection harms.
