🚨The Data Use and Access Bill - New Data Laws Set to Transform UK Services & Economy🚨 The Data Use and Access Bill, introduced to the UK Parliament, aims to modernise the country’s data policies to foster more effective data sharing and use across various sectors, particularly public services. Rooted in objectives to stimulate economic growth and optimise public service delivery, this legislation introduces significant shifts in data access, aiming to generate up to £10 billion for the UK economy by easing data flow across public, private, and healthcare sectors to streamline and clarify data-sharing practices by enhancing lawful access provisions, with healthcare as a core area of focus. The bill is presented as part of the UK Government’s post-Brexit vision to establish a flexible data regime independent from the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), aiming to strike a balance between innovation and privacy protections.

International data transfers: Complex, Consequential, and Controversial. It was a great privilege to give evidence and to engage with the thoughtful and incisive questions from members of the UK House of Lords European Affairs Committee. Whereas in years past, issues relating to international data transfers might have been readily dismissed as esoteric and ephemeral paper tigers, those issues -- which have evolved and compounded -- are not only of highest priority for #PrivacyPros doing the work, they are foundational to the efficacy and sustainability of information-driven societies, technologies, and economies. 👀 You can watch the evidence session -- which I had the pleasure of joining alongside Eleonor Duhs -- here: https://lnkd.in/ePQemtW4. 🧠 Check out the IAPP - International Association of Privacy Professionals International Data Transfers page for empowering resources: https://lnkd.in/dkwkeqUs #DataTransfers #DataFlows #GDPR #DataProtection

Regulatory Landscape in Data Privacy : General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):   The GDPR, enforced in the European Union, sets a high standard for data protection and privacy. It mandates clear consent, data minimization, and grants individuals control over their personal data, ensuring transparency and security in data handling. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):   The CCPA, a leading data privacy law in the United States, empowers California residents with rights to know, access, and delete their personal information. It emphasizes transparency and gives consumers control over their data, fostering greater trust in digital interactions. Personal Data Protection Bill in India:   India’s Personal Data Protection Bill aims to safeguard personal data and establish a framework for data processing. It focuses on individual rights, data localization, and accountability of data fiduciaries, promoting privacy and data protection in a rapidly digitizing economy. #DataPrivacyMatters #DigitalMarketingCompliance #GDPRandBeyond #DataProtectionRegulations

What to know about the UK's Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (5 min read) 🇬🇧 The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (DPDI) was first introduced in 2022/23, and will soon be voted this upcoming spring. What is the DPDI? The DPDI is the UK government’s attempt to replace the EU’s GDPR, as the House of Commons Library explains that its aim is to “seize the post-Brexit opportunity to ‘create a new UK data rights regime tailor-made for our needs’” (Source: UK Parliament House of Commons Library). 🇪🇺 Their goal: → To reduce costs and work associated with compliance for organizations → To reduce burdens on businesses for cross-border transfers →To give organizations greater confidence about the circumstances in which they can process personal data without consent. → To increase citizen confidence in AI technologies. →Boost the economy by £4.7 billion over the next decade How would they do it? 1️⃣ Create a system for digital verification services to ensure digital identities are as trustworthy as paper documents, and raise penalties for unwanted calls and texts under PECR. 2️⃣ Cut down “user consent” pop-ups/banners 3️⃣ Allow sharing of customer data through smart data schemes 4️⃣ Moving towards an electronic register for civil registration 5️⃣ Facilitate usage of personal data for law enforcement and national security 6️⃣ Clarify legal provisions around the political use of personal data. Critics are concerned that this new bill “dilates” the GDPR and could violate the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, as well as the rights of EU and UK citizens. (Source: Euractiv) What’s the difference between the GDPR and the DPDI? Thanks to a comprehensive comparison by the DPO Centre, we’ve outlined a few of the main differences between the GDPR and the DPDI Bill. What do you think about the DPDI?

EU Parliament Raises Concerns on UK Data Protection Bill, Is it the End of the Adequacy Decision on Data Transfers? European Parliament member Paul Tang raised concerns on the UK's Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (DPDI) in a letter address to the European Commission which highlights potential conflicts between the DPDI and the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). According to Tang, the DPDI seeks to overhaul the UK's GDPR framework, potentially weakening data protection for EU citizens and risking non-compliance with the EU-UK data adequacy agreement established in 2019. Tang's letter outlines serious implications, such as the elimination of the Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner and the allowance for indefinite biometric data retention by UK law enforcement. These measures could undermine the European Court of Human Rights safeguards, jeopardizing crucial law enforcement cooperation frameworks like Prüm II and the Law Enforcement Directive. The letter raises critical questions about the bill's impact on EU-UK law enforcement cooperation, the protection of biometric data under GDPR, and its compatibility with the ECtHR ruling in S and Marper vs. UK, which emphasizes privacy rights. The DPDI could create challenges in data transfers between the UK and the EU, the EU Commission’s adequacy decision on data transfers is meant to be reviewed in case of regulatory changes in the UK. As in the case of transfers to the US after the Data Privacy Framework which is likely to be challenged by noyb.eu, also in the current situation of uncertainty, businesses need to decide whether they can rely on the adequacy decision. A question frenquently addressed by clients is whether they should run a Transfer Impact Assessment also for these data transfers, what is your view?
