So am I. Private companies in general, or people or organisations undertaking private prosecutions would seem not to fit the part above that, which refers to statutory functions to exercise public authority or public powers.while TIL might fit that description (I am unconvinced
"A competent authority means:
- a person specified in Schedule 7 of the DPA 2018; or
- any other person if, and to the extent that, they have statutory functions to exercise public authority or public powers for the law enforcement purposes."
The definition is in section 30:
Data Protection Act 2018
