The Brexit transition period ended on 31st December 2020. UK organisations that process personal data must now comply with the following laws:
The EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) gives individuals eight rights relating to their personal data. Organisations must let individuals know how they can exercise these rights and meet requests promptly. Failure to do so is a breach of the GDPR. To begin with, we should understand what a data subject is.
Data protection by design and by default is nothing new. But, while privacy by design was good practice under the Data Protection Act of 1998, data protection by design and by default are legal requirements of Article 25 of the GDPR.
Here’s how data protection by design and by default works. We have outlined some steps you need to take in order to achieve it.
The UK Information Commissioner’s Office said it is “business as usual for data protection”. The EU General Data Protection Regulation will continue to apply as the United Kingdom has now left the European Union. A Brexit transition has now begun, running through to the end of December 2020.
