The history of UK GDPR
UK GDPR stands for the retained EU law version of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
In April 2016 the General Data Protection EU 2016/679 Regulation (now known as EU GDPR) was adopted in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), and became enforceable from 25 May 2018.
The UK ceased to be member of the EU on 31 January 2020 (Brexit) and following an 11-month transition period that ended on 31 December 2020, the retained EU GDPR operates in domestic law under the new name the ‘UK GDPR’. The UK GDPR came into effect on 1 January 2021.
It is essential that employees – especially management, are trained on how to handle personal data legally. Online GDPR training and frequent refresher training can help your organisation ensure compliance with data protection laws in the most practical and efficient way possible.
