Changes to GDPR post Brexit
On top of the existing legislation, the UK government has issued a statutory instrument titled ‘The Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019’. In simple terms, this amends the original law and merges it with the requirements of GDPR. The outcome will be a new data protection framework known as the ‘UK GDPR’.
Once the UK leaves the EU, as a non-member state it will be reclassified as a ‘third country’.
Under GDPR (the EU version), transferring personal data from the European Economic Area (EAA) to third countries is permitted under the following agreement.
The ‘Trade and Cooperation Agreement’ contains a provision allowing data flows between the EU and UK to continue as they were pre-Brexit for a maximum of six months. In other words, data can still be transferred in the way it was pre-January 2021 until June this year.
Data Transfers from the UK
There are no restrictions or alterations on sending personal data from the UK to the 27 EU states, 3 EEA states or the additional 12 countries who were already afforded an adequacy decision by the EU whilst the UK was still a member. This is because the UK has carried over the 42 adequacy decisions, so that personal data from the UK can continue to flow seamlessly.
The ICO will remain the independent supervisory body regarding the UK’s data protection legislation.
The UK government will continue to work towards maintaining close working relationships between the ICO and other countries’ supervisory authorities once the transition period ends.
