The former Channel Islands Data Protection Commissioner is taking up a new job – as Data Protection Commissioner for just Guernsey.

Emma Martins announced in October she was quitting the pan-island role which she has held since it was created in 2011. She’ll move from that to her new job early in the new year.

Following her resignation the States of Guernsey decided to develop its own regulatory framework, and create a specific Guernsey Data Protection Commissioner post.

Emma said: “I’m delighted to take on the role of overseeing Guernsey’s new data protection regulatory framework, for the next two years. Guernsey’s new law, approved by the States last month, puts the island in an excellent position to maintain EU adequacy following the introduction of GDPR in May next year. I am looking forward to the challenges that regulating the new law will bring.”

Deputy Mary Lowe, President of the Committee for Home Affairs, said: “Emma has been responsible for the regulation of data protection in both islands for the last six years and in that time she has regularly displayed her expertise in this complex field. Her decision to apply for the newly created Guernsey Data Protection Commissioner role, and subsequent appointment, is excellent news for the island.”

“While we took the decision following a meeting with Jersey to develop our own regulatory framework, we will continue working with colleagues in Jersey on areas of mutual interest.”
