The UK GDPR is replacing the existing EU GDPR on the 1st January 2021 and will sit alongside the DPA 2018. All the main principles, obligations and rights are still applicable and remain in place and the existing EU GDPR will continue to apply, unchanged, in the countries of the EEA, however the way we need to interact with our customers in the EEA will change.
Transfers of data from the UK to the EEA will not be restricted, transfers of data from the EEA to the UK will need additional safeguards in place as the UK will become a ‘Third Country’ and no longer have adequacy under the EU GDPR.
