The UK is on the brink of significant data protection reform. The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (DPDI Bill) is set to reshape the data privacy landscape by updating the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).
Introduced as part of the government’s drive to create a “pro-innovation” data regime post-Brexit, the Bill aims to reduce administrative burdens on businesses while maintaining high data protection standards. However, it’s far from a mere regulatory trim—it introduces some fundamental changes that will affect how organisations manage data rights, digital identity, cookies, and much more.
