The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 Regulations 2026 amend Data Protection Act 2018

Original title: The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provision) Regulations 2026 effect on Data Protection Act 2018

The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provision) Regulations 2026 make amendments to the Data Protection Act 2018 to ensure consistency with the new data access and use framework. These changes affect how organisations comply with UK data protection requirements in relation to data access rights and operational procedures under the new legislation. The amendments establish transitional provisions to allow organisations time to adapt their processes and governance structures to the updated regulatory framework.

Who is affected

Organisations subject to UK data protection law (Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR), particularly those handling personal data and required to facilitate data access and use under the new framework. Applies across all sectors in the UK jurisdiction.
