Three years ago, at the end of the Brexit Implementation Period, I helped prepare a version of the UK GDPR for the Mishcon de Reya website. At the time, it was difficult to find a consolidated version of the instrument, and the idea was to offer a user-friendly version showing the changes made to the retained version of the GDPR, as modified by the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments Etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, and the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments Etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020.
Since then, the main legislation.gov.uk has offered a version. However, with respect to that site, it’s not always the easiest to use.
The burden now, though, falls to me and Mishcon, of updating our pages as and when the UK GDPR itself gets amended. Major changes are likely to made when the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill gets enacted, but, first, we have the minor amendments (minor in number, of not in significance) effected by The Data Protection (Fundamental Rights and Freedoms) (Amendment) Regulations 2023 (which came into force at 23:59:59 on 31.12.23).
The changes have been made to Articles 1, 4, 9, 50, 85 and 86.
The Mishcon pages have been very well used, and we’ve had some great feedback on them. They don’t profess to be an authoritative version (and certainly should not be relied on as such) but we hope they’ll continue to be a useful resource.
