The United Kingdom

Оглавление

Brexit may be a reality, but data protection knows no borders, and so it’s no surprise that UK laws are modeled closely on the GDPR. The people who put together the UK policy decided to make things easy and just refer to their policy as UK GDPR.

The Information Commissioner’s Office, or ICO, is an independent body that contains information about the UK GDPR for businesses and individuals. For businesses, that means you can't just learn what the UK GDPR requires; you also need to take a self-assessment test to see whether your business is ready to adhere to the UK GDPR — no matter whether you’re in the UK or you want to do business in the UK.

For consumers, this means you can learn what your rights are under the UK GDPR, including your rights to be informed, to get your data deleted, to limit how organizations use your data, and more.

All this information, as well as a complaint form, is available on the ICO at https://ico.org.uk, as shown in Figure 2-7.
