Why it matters

These regulations modify specific provisions of the DPA 2018 to ensure consistency between the two pieces of legislation and establish transitional arrangements for affected organizations. Organizations subject to UK GDPR and the DPA 2018 must review the amendments to understand how their data protection obligations have been adjusted.
Who is affected
Organizations in the United Kingdom subject to the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR, including data controllers and processors handling personal data
