Data Protection and the new UK GDPR Landscape (Special Report)

With the United Kingdom’s exit from the EU now confirmed, this new Special Report provides a practical explanation of data protection laws as they will exist in a post-EU environment. GDPR will cease to have effect but substitute legislation will ensure that the UK remains a safe territory for personal data.

• the legal duties of a data processor
• developing and managing data protection governance policies and procedures;
• data subject rights and how to respond
• international personal data transfers
• conducting data privacy impact assessments
• personal data in legal proceedings and governmental powers impacting upon personal data
• profiling using personal data and the law
• securing personal data and addressing cyber risks
• data breaches – how to react and respond, and
• looking forward – noteworthy emerging trends and issues

Each subject will be developed in a practical manner with illustrative case studies and with references to relevant case law.

This Special Report will be of interest to in-house counsel, individuals responsible for personal data management and governance including data protection officers and all with responsibility for data systems and infrastructure at a senior level.
