What Is GDPR?
Known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this regulation outlines provisions and requirements on pertaining and processing of personal data of individuals within the European Economic Area.
Has GDPR changed since Brexit?
Yes. Brexit affected GDPR laws in a significant way. The EU (European Union) GDPR is no longer valid in the UK after Brexit after the end of the transition period, which was December 31, 2020.
Any organisation that had to comply with the EU GDPR for processing the personal data of UK citizens must now follow the UK DPA/UK GDPR. The UK (United Kingdom) General Data Protection Regulation (UK-GDPR) is essentially the same law as the European GDPR, but has only changed to accommodate UK areas of law.
