The publication of the UK’s proposals to reform UK data protection law – Data: a new direction – and the appointment of John Edwards as the new Information Commissioner, indicate a new era for data regulation in the UK.
This provides opportunities for the UK to position itself as a global pioneer by implementing a regulatory system underpinned by sound principles that can both flex as new technologies emerge and maintain high levels of trust in the public.
Last week we participated in a techUK Talks session at London Tech Week with other leading data experts to consider the key points in these reforms and the potential pitfalls ahead, including the implications for the EU’s data adequacy finding for the UK.
Watch Richard Cumbley, global head of our TMT practice, share his thoughts on these issues.
