GDPR and Data Protection The UK data protection regime is built on three core legal instruments: • The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) • The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) • The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003/2426) What is the UK GDPR? The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force in 2018, is a comprehensive data privacy and security law that sets out strict requirements for how organisations handle personal data. Employers must ensure that employee data is managed and stored securely to remain compliant. Breaches of the regulation can lead to significant fines or legal proceedings. Following the UKs departure from the EU, the GDPR has been retained in domestic law as the UK GDPR.
