In September, the Department for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport released its consultation proposing changes to the UK.'s data protection laws. Some of these changes are minor clarifications intended to resolve uncertainties in the EU GDPR's drafting, while others are fundamental reforms to the operation of our national data protection laws and the obligations and protections that they bring.
