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, coming into force on 23 June 2026, make amendments to the Data Protection Act 2018 to align it with the new Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. The regulations introduce consequential amendments to ensure consistency between the two data protection regimes and establish transitional provisions for implementation. Organisations subject to UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 will need to ensure compliance with both the amended provisions and any new obligations introduced through the transitional arrangements.
