DATA PROTECTION
By aligning with the RGPD, the UK hopes to build an improved data protection mechanism that goes beyond the adequacy model that the EU imposes on ‘third’ countries, allowing personal data to flow freely between the UK and the EU following Brexit.
The GDPR has direct effect in all EU member states. This means that businesses will still need to comply with this regulation and look to the RGPD for most legal obligations. However, the GDPR also gives Member States limited scope to make provisions on how it applies in their country. Some notable provisions make use of the ability of Member States to implement different measures from the GDPR, the so-called “national derogations”, in the following areas: exemptions from certain rights and obligations set out in the GDPR in relation to certain criminal and immigration matters, for example, as well as for reasons of freedom of expression and information (for journalistic, academic, artistic purposes). For this reason it is important that the GDPR and the DPA 2018 are read side by side.
It also includes a section that transposes the EU Data Protection Directive 2016/680 (Enforcement Directive) into UK domestic law. The Directive complements the General Data Protection Regulation and Part 3 of the DPA 2018 sets out requirements for the processing of personal data for ‘law enforcement’ purposes.However, these measures are by no means a guarantee and do not commit the company to an obligation of result regarding data security.
