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 makes consequential amendments to the Data Protection Act 2018 to align it with the new data use and access framework.

Organizations handling personal data must review the amended provisions to ensure ongoing compliance with both regimes.
