Since 1 January 2021, the UK operates the UK GDPR alongside the Data Protection Act 2018. It largely mirrors the EU GDPR but diverges on international transfers, children's data (Age Appropriate Design Code), and PECR. The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 codifies further targeted reforms.

What is the maximum UK GDPR fine?

The Information Commissioner's Office can impose fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of global annual turnover (whichever is higher) for the most serious violations.

Do I need a UK Representative if I have an EU Representative?

Yes - since Brexit, the UK and EU are separate jurisdictions. Non-UK controllers and processors offering goods or services to people in the UK or monitoring their behaviour must appoint a separate UK Representative under Article 27 UK GDPR.

How do I transfer data out of the UK?

Use one of the UK-recognised mechanisms: an adequacy decision, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs, Binding Corporate Rules, or a derogation. A Transfer Risk Assessment is required.

What is the Age Appropriate Design Code?

The ICO's statutory code of practice for online services likely to be accessed by under-18s. It sets 15 standards - including DPIA, high-privacy defaults, transparency, geolocation off by default, no nudge techniques, and connected toys.
