EU GDPR in UK

Question 1. What about GDPR in the UK? Is it different from GDPR EU?

GDPR is a EU Regulation and applies across all Europe and all around the world if the data processing involves data of individuals living in the EU (Article 3 GDPR).The Brexit process made GDPR fully applicable until December 31st, 2020, then the UK will be able to implement its own privacy law.

2. How could I find the differences?

Currently, UK Privacy law is the GDPR until December 31st 2020. The Data Protection Act of 2018 implement the GDPR which is the core of the legislation and provide rules for enforcement, powers of the Information Commissioner and its role in enforcing GDPR.You can find any information about UK on the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) which is UK Data Protection Authority: https://ico.org.uk/ICO made a guide for data controller and processor on how to comply at the end of the transitional period: https://ico.org.uk/media/2617967/eot-five-steps-le-processing.pdf The first point is to continue to comply with GDPR and then UK controller will need to regulate the data transfers with EU partners applying Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) or Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) (the latter for large companies).
