The Data Protection Act (DPA) of 2018 was passed in April 2016 and came into effect on May 25, 2018. This was the same day the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect.
The DPA implemented the GDPR in the UK, codified its requirements into the UK law, and made the necessary exemptions and requirements based on the UK’s data protection needs. However, from December 2020, the UK is no longer subject to the EU GDPR due to Brexit. The UK GDPR refers to the GDPR as it was on 31st December 2020 in a “frozen” state and any applicable case law at that point. Now, the UK GDPR and the DPA should be read together. The UK DPA has specific chapters on data processing by law enforcement and intelligence service bodies.
Securiti promises thorough compliance with both the Data Protection Act of 2018 and the UK GDPR thanks to its PI data discovery, DSR automation, documented accountability, and AI-process automation features, among others.
Each of the aforementioned solutions is backed up by state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine-learning-based algorithms, making Securiti a market leader in providing data compliance and governance solutions.

The DPA and the UK GDPR ensure all users have a specific set of rights, known as data subject rights, to ensure they retain control over how their data is used. These rights include the following:
The data subjects have a right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning the data subject are being processed and access to personal data.
Data subjects can request the following information about the data collected:
All data subjects have a right to request rectification of any collected data if it has become outdated/incorrect/obsolete since the data was initially collected. In case of incomplete data, the data subjects will have the right to provide a supplementary statement to complete such incomplete data.
Also known as the Right to be Forgotten, all data subjects have the right to request any collected on them be destroyed, and any existing data processing activities be ceased accordingly.
The data processor/controller must abide by any such requests if any of the following criteria are met:
All data subjects have the right to receive all data collected on them by a data processor or controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format that can be accessed easily via an appropriate electronic device.
All data subjects have the right to request an end to all data collection and processing activities related to their data. The data processor/controller must cease all their data collection activities once such a request is made unless they have legitimate reasons for continuing to do so related to legal, contractual, and national security reasons. The right to object includes the right to withdraw consent for direct marketing purposes.
All data subjects have the right to request a restriction on the processing or collection of their personal data in the following circumstances:
All data subjects have a right to request an end to any automated decision-making, including profiling that may have legal implications for the data subject.
However, this right does not apply in the following cases:
The data processor/controller must ensure that any rectification, erasure, and restricting of processing data requests made by a data subject are properly communicated to all parties that had access to the data subject’s data.
The data processor/controller may be exempt from this requirement if notifying all such parties would require a disproportionate effort. The data subject must be informed of all these parties that had access to their data if they request such information.
The DPA contains several limitations to data subjects’ rights as they are provided under the UK GDPR. One such exception aims to protect the national security and defense of the country. Accordingly, the rights of data subjects do not apply if the exemption is required to safeguard national security or defense purposes, however, only in relation to manual unstructured data held by FOI public authorities.
Here are some facts about the Data Protection Act 2018 & the UK GDPR
The Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc.) EU Exit Regulations 2019 amended the EU GDPR, resulting in the UK GDPR.
In case of data breaches, organizations can be fined €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover (whichever one is higher) and €10 million or 2% of annual global turnover (whichever one is higher) in case of administrative failures.
The Data Protection Act of 2018 applies to any organization that holds data belonging to UK residents. It also applies to entities processing personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the UK, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the UK or not.
Data processors and controllers must respond to all data subject requests without undue delay and in any event, within 30 days of the receipt of the request.
UK post-Brexit International Data Transfer Agreement is a replacement of former SCCs and facilitates cross-border data transfers from the UK to non-adequate third countries.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the relevant regulatory body responsible for ensuring compliance with the DPA read with UK GDPR.
