The ICO’s intellectual property rights, including copyright in its materials, are unaffected by the ICO’s voluntary application of the OGL. These rights still belong to the ICO.
Images
Images are not available for re-use under the OGL because in most cases copyright is held by a third party. The ICO does not grant anyone any rights to reuse images.

Contact Tim Bowden in the ICO communications department to ask permission and what, if any, additional conditions may apply. Your application should be in writing, specifying the name and address of the applicant, identifying the information source you want to re-use and the purpose for re-use.

Use of logos
The use of any of the Information Commissioner's logos on any document or in association with any information signifies that the document or information has been prepared or approved by the Information Commissioner. The logos are used only on materials generated by the Commissioner's office or where the Commissioner's office has worked in association with an organisation preparing advice on data protection or freedom of information.
Use of any of the Commissioner's logos without the Commissioner's consent infringes the copyright held in respect of the logos. No permission will be granted for the use of the logos nor will reproduction of the logos in any form be allowed unless the Commissioner determines that:
- the material on which the logos is to be used and
- the use of the logos on such material have been expressly approved by their office.
