The changes to UK law after Exit Day –
The EU’s GDPR has been amended into a new “UK-GDPR” (United Kingdom General Data Protection
Regulation) that took effect on January 31, 2020.
The Data Protection Act 2018 has been amended to be read in conjunction with the new UK-GDPR instead of the EU GDPR.
The European GDPR will apply to the UK in the transition period lasting from January 31, 2020 until December 31, 2020 (unless further extensions are agreed upon between the UK and EU).
It is likely that the UK government will move to consolidate the two amended laws (UK-GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018) into one, comprehensive piece of data protection law at a later point.
All the main principles, obligations and rights remain in place.
