The Jersey Data Protection Authority (JDPA) is proposing updates to REGISTRATION FEES— your input matters.
18/12/2025
The Jersey Data Protection Authority (JDPA) is consulting on significant changes to registration fees, because
- The current fee structure has remained unchanged since January 2020.
- JDPA is seeking to introduce a fair, affordable, risk-based, and sustainable model to keep Jersey compliant and competitive.
Paul Vane, Information Commissioner, is urging all organisations to participate in the consultation. He stresses
- That the 'JDPA's independent role is vital to Jersey's economy.
- Most Island businesses rely on the secure flow of personal data between Jersey and countries in the European Economic Area (EEA) to operate effectively.
- These data flows are possible because Jersey has received an 'adequacy' decision from the European Commission, allowing personal data to move freely between Jersey and EEA countries'.
Objectives of the proposed changes
- Address the gap between public and private sector fees
- Offset RPI increases since the last review
- Create a sustainable funding model for JDPA's regulatory work
- Streamline fee-setting to reduce costs for the public
What’s changing?
- 50% annual fee reduction for organisations with fewer than 50 employees
- Increased charges for larger entities
- A new band based on past-year revenues
- Revised fees for administered entities
Why now?
- To make fees fair, sustainable, and aligned with Jersey’s data protection obligations.
- To offset RPI increases since the last review.
- Address the gap between public and private sector fees
- Streamline fee-setting to reduce costs for the public
Deadline: Friday, 20 February 2026
