Liverpool City Council refers itself to data watchdog
Liverpool City Council has referred itself to the data watchdog due to a potential data breach after 10,000 letters about how to claim energy rebates were sent with the wrong names on them.
New letters have been sent with instructions on how to destroy the originals.
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has received a referral.
As a result of the breach, the council could receive a fine or an enforcement notice.
An authority spokesperson said a breach such as this was considered minor and would not require significant punishment, with staff working over the weekend to make the referral to the ICO.
Organisations must notify the ICO of a potential breach within 72 hours unless it poses no risk to people's rights and freedoms.
An ICO spokesperson said that if anyone had "concerns about how their data has been handled, they can report these concerns to us".
An ICO spokesman said organisations must notify it of a potential breach "within 72 hours... unless it does not pose a risk to people's rights and freedoms".
