Data Protection (UK GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), retained in UK law as UK GDPR following Brexit, governs how personal data must be collected, processed, stored, and protected by organisations operating in the UK. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the primary regulator responsible for enforcement and publishes guidance, codes of practice, and updates on data protection requirements. Legislation.gov.uk provides the statutory text and amendments to the Data Protection Act 2018 and related regulations. Watchdog HQ monitors changes to GDPR weekly.
