GPDR/ICO registration. Do I need to register? (Their site is inconsistent.)
<p><a href="https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/data-protection-fee/exemptions/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/data-protection-fee/exemptions/</a> lists exemptions as:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Staff administration</p>
<p>Advertising, marketing and public relations</p>
<p>Accounts and records</p>
<p>Not -for -profit purposes</p>
<p>Personal, family or household affairs</p>
<p>Maintaining a public register</p>
<p>Judicial functions</p>
<p>Processing personal information without an automated system such as a computer.
Since 1 April 2019, members of the House of Lords, elected representatives and prospective representatives are also exempt.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>but <a href="https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-fee/self-assessment/y/N/Y/Yes/Yes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-fee/self-assessment/y/N/Y/Yes/Yes</a> lists the exemptions as only:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Judicial functions;</p>
<p>elected representative functions</p>
<p>personal, family or household affairs not connected to commercial or professional activities (including CCTV to monitor your domestic property, even if you are capturing images outside the boundaries of your property); or</p>
<p>to maintain a public register (ie you are required by law to make the information publicly available).</p>

<p>This feels like the ICO are deliberately overreaching in order to increase the number of £40/year fees.</p>
<p>Are they overreaching and how can I find out?</p>
<p>(Note: I'm happy to pay the £40/year fee if I'm legally obliged to.  On principle, I don't want to pay if I am being misled by their website's self-assessment guide.)</p>

<p>Both of the pages linked in the question are from the ICO.</p>
<p>The other exemptions listed on the first page linked but not on the second, seem to be handled on other pages of the self-assessment tool. I have not tried to verify that <strong>every</strong> exemption listed on the fist page is properly handled, but that seems to be the case.</p>
<p>Which exemption do you think is included in the list on the fist page, but is not covered on the self-assessment tool?</p>
