Pre- or post-Brexit?


Why would that matter?

Here are the changes: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

Afaik it's entirely administrative, e.g.:

> ~~an adequacy decision by the Commission~~ relevant adequacy regulations under section 17A of the 2018 Act

('the Commission' being the European Commission, and no longer relevant.)


> Why would that matter?

Because since Brexit, the UK is no longer protected by the GDPR.


That is perhaps pedantically true in a way you almost certainly don't mean, that there is no longer 'the GDPR', there is now the EU's GDPR and the UK's GDPR (both using that name) ... but basically false.

As I said above, it was kept with the necessary amendments. That documents title: GDPR - Keeling Schedule. Introductory paragraph:

> This schedule has been prepared by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. It is intended for illustrative purposes only to assist the reader in understanding the changes to be made to the retained General Data Protection Regulation by the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc)(EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (as amended by the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc)(EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (subject to Parliamentary approval) when these come into force.
