Why is GateHub exempt from registering with the UK ICO?

It looks like GateHub is not registered as a data controller with the UK Information Commissioner.

However, Bitstamp is registered:

It looks like GateHub is exempt from registering as a data controller.

Question for @gatehub: Why are you exempt from registering?

Good question, I'd also like to know whether Stellar has been looked at by the authorities; there was some question over its charitable status I believe.

We are not exempt and have already registered GateHub with the ICO. You should be able to see our name on the list soon.

"... at busy times it may take us longer to publish new registrations, renewals and amendments."

Ok, thanks. But that means you've just registered? You should've been registered since you started public operations and started processing personal data (last year?).
