UK: ICO joins Global CAPE
On April 4, 2024, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) announced that it had signed a new international multilateral agreement with the Global Cooperation Arrangement for Privacy Enforcement (Global CAPE) to cooperate in cross-border data protection and privacy enforcement. The ICO explained that as part of the Global CAPE, it would be able to assist with investigations and share information with member countries without having to enter separate memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with each nation.
The Global CAPE was created to supplement the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation Cross-border Privacy Rules (APEC CBPR), which facilitate cooperation and assistance in privacy and data security investigations among APEC's Asian Pacific countries. The Global CAPE itself was formed on October 17, 2023.
