Until the UK exits the EU in March 2019, it will be subject to the EU data protection regulations, namely the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which comes into force on 25 May 2018 and in negotiations for which the UK played an active part.
The new rules strengthen rights and empower individuals by giving them more control over their personal data. For example, the general public will have the right to be forgotten (RTBF) and for their data to be deleted if certain conditions are met.
