With rapid digital transformation, data privacy remains a key legal focus in the UK. The UK GDPR, post-Brexit, continues to regulate how personal data is collected, stored, and shared.
Key Principles: Lawfulness, fairness, transparency, and data minimisation remain at the core of compliance.
Individual Rights: People can request access to their data, correct inaccuracies, or ask for deletion (the “right to be forgotten”).
For Businesses: Companies must maintain consent records, appoint Data Protection Officers (DPOs), and report data breaches within 72 hours.
Penalties: Non-compliance can result in fines up to £17.5 million or 4% of global turnover.
