The new UK Data Reform Bill: A game-changer for businesses?

After months of silence, the work on a new data protection framework in the UK is picking up steam again:

The so-called "Data Protection and Digital Information Bill" was first introduced last summer and paused in September 2022 to ensure it met the UK's high privacy standards. On March 8, the UK Government finally announced they would resume the work on the new UK version of the GDPR.

The goal of the rehaul? Move away from the "one-size-fits-all" approach of the EU's GDPR and save billions for British businesses.
