The EU General Data Protection Regulation came into force in the UK on 25 May 2018. Following Brexit, it was replaced by the ‘UK GDPR’, which substantially replicated the EU GDPR. In addition, the Data Protection Act 2018 sits alongside and supplements the UK GDPR provisions (including, in particular, rules use of sensitive categories of data, and exemptions). The UK Data (Use and Access Act) 2025  was introduced into UK law on 19 June 2025 with staged implementation dates. The DUA Act amends the UK GDPR and the DPA 2018.

The UK GDPR provides protection for individuals’ personal data by imposing various restrictions on how other individuals and companies can use that data.

UK GDPR considerations for employers

The UK GDPR regime imposes stringent requirements on employers and, as such, this poses a real challenge for HR professionals to ensure that they are processing employee personal data in a ‘fair, lawful and transparent’ way (and in accordance with the other data protection principles) and that they are complying with all applicable documentation and accountability requirements.
