Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 regulations create consequential amendments to DPA 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 introduce amendments to the Data Protection Act 2018 to align it with the new framework. These consequential amendments ensure DPA 2018 operates coherently with the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, while transitional provisions establish implementation timelines for affected organisations. Entities subject to UK GDPR and DPA 2018 must review how these amendments affect their data handling obligations and compliance procedures.

Who is affected

Organisations and data controllers subject to UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 in the United Kingdom.
