Personal data refers to information that pertains to living individuals (referred to as data subjects) that can be used to identify them either alone or when combined with other data. Sensitive personal data, which includes details about a person's ethnic or racial background, physical and mental health, and other such information, is afforded additional protection. Currently, the control and processing of personal data is regulated by the Data Protection Act. However, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into effect on May 25, 2018, now governs the processing and handling of personal data. When the UK leaves the EU, the Data Protection Act will align with the GDPR. Most data controllers are required to notify the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) annually before processing any personal data. Breaching the Data Protection Act is considered a criminal offense for which individuals may be held liable. With the introduction of the GDPR, penalties for such offenses will increase. Our data protection solicitors are available to help you comply with current laws, including the GDPR, and provide advice whenever changes to the law occur.
