Chuck the DPA2018 and GDPR away; say hello to the UK_GDPR and a revised DPA2018 in February next year

Just published on Hawktalk: http://amberhawk.typepad.com/

Given that the Conservatives are forming a majority Government for the next five years, it is clear that the UK will leave the European Union and implement the New Withdrawal Agreement by January 31st in 2020.  This means Exit Day is January 31st 2020, and the “Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (EU Exit) Regulations” SI 419/ 2019 will come into effect.

These Regulations redefine the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as the “EU_GDPR” and generates an “UK_GDPR” by making hundreds of changes to the “EU_GDPR” text.  To accommodate the reference to the new “UK_GDPR”, hundreds of changes are also made to the Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA2018”).  Fortunately, the Government has made available a “Keeling Schedule” for both the UK_GDPR and the DPA2018.

In other words, the Keeling Schedule for the UK_GDPR and revised DPA2018 will become the main text which you should use (see references); your New Year’s resolution is to familiarise yourself with these Keeling texts.  We will be using this revised text in all our DP courses.
