GDPR

The UK GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the UK's data protection law, implemented after Brexit, working alongside the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) to control how organizations use personal information, focusing on fairness, transparency, data minimization, and security, granting individuals rights over their data, with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as the regulator. It mirrors the EU GDPR but operates as domestic UK law, applying to businesses handling UK residents' data, even if based abroad, and sets strict rules for data handling and accountability.
