UK Government Issues Data Protection Guidance in the Event UK Leaves EU with "No Deal"

UK Government Issues Data Protection Guidance in the Event UK Leaves EU with "No Deal". The guide outlines how the data protection law will work in the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

The EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA) retains the GDPR in UK law. The fundamental principles, obligations and rights that organisations and data subjects have become familiar with will stay the same.

To ensure the UK data protection framework continues to operate effectively when the UK is no longer an EU Member State the Government will make appropriate changes to the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 using regulation-making powers under the EUWA.
