The UK government has written the GDPR into UK law such that following the Brexit transition period, a “UK GDPR” will apply. European organisations processing data of UK customers or employees will need to know how the regime under the UK GDPR will differ from that under the EU GDPR. This talk covers these, as well as issues such as whether a data protection representative will need to be appointed in the UK, transfers to the UK in the absence of an adequacy decision, lead supervisory authorities, DPO’s, and likely development of, in the words of PM Johnson, “separate and independent policies” in the area of UK data protection.
