Data Protection in the Event of a “No Deal Brexit”
As part of its preparations for a “no deal” scenario when the Article 50 negotiating period comes to an end on 29 March 2019, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (“DDCMS”) has released guidance on “Data protection if there’s no Brexit deal”.
The UK will become a “third country” on its exit from the European Union, which means that unhindered cross-border transfers of data will no longer automatically be able to take place between the UK and the EU.
