The main reason a country might adopt an "ombudsman" model of privacy oversight is to reduce the perception that compliance is a confrontational process. The ombudsman model focuses on mediation and resolution rather than enforcement, aiming to resolve issues through dialogue and negotiation rather than punitive measures. This approach helps to foster a cooperative relationship between the regulator and the entities they oversee, which can lead to more effective compliance and less adversarial interactions. This model contrasts with more regulatory or enforcement-driven models, which might focus on sanctions and formal adjudications.
