The IC Act appears to refer to the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 change affecting the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, and the change is expected to come into effect in spring/summer 2026.

Quick Scoop

The source I found says the move to the new Information Commission is being brought in by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, with the change expected in stages during spring/summer 2026.

What that means

  • The ICO’s functions, staff, property, and ongoing matters are expected to transfer to the new body.
  • The change is not described as happening all at once; it is expected to happen in stages.

Important note

“IC Act” can mean different laws in different countries, so if you meant a different IC Act, the effective date could be different.
