Changes have been made to the UK’s data protection regime through the introduction of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (DUAA). Whilst the provisions considered in this article are already in force, others will be introduced over time. The DUAA does not replace the UK’s existing data protection legislation (including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR)) but will make some changes to that legislation in order to simplify the UK’s data protection regime.
