Data Protection
Service
In today’s digital age, the protection of personal data is of paramount importance. With the implementation of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), businesses face increased responsibilities and obligations when it comes to handling and processing personal data. At Oracle Law Global, we understand the complexities of data protection and UK GDPR compliance and offer expert legal services to help safeguard your business and ensure compliance with the latest regulations.
The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018), as applicable following the end of the Brexit implementation period, addresses a number of distinct data protection regimes in UK data protection law:
- General processing of personal data subject to the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, Retained Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (UK GDPR)
- Processing of personal data by competent authorities for law enforcement purposes
- Processing of personal data by intelligence services
UK GDPR contains parts of the EU version of the GDPR ((EU)2016/679)), the DPA 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (SI 2003/2326).
The EU GDPR may apply to UK controllers or processors who have an establishment in the EU. Therefore, you could be subject to dual data protection regulatory regimes. It is therefore essential to obtain legal advice at an early stage to clarify your position and obtain advice from our specialists.
Fines Businesses could face a fine of up to 4% of global turnover of the preceding financial year or £17.5 million (whichever is greater) for serious breaches and up to 2% of annual global turnover or £8.75 million (whichever is greater) for other breaches.
There are various obligations for controllers and processors that must be observed and adhered to.
UK GDPR Definitions
- Controller: An individual (including a company) who determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
- Processor: An individual who processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
- Processing: Covers collecting, recording, storing, using, and erasure or destruction of data.
