What is data protection?
Data protection is about defending individuals’ personal information against destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, and ensuring it is processed fairly.
Organisations have a legal obligation to protect the personal information they hold and to ensure that it is used only for the purpose for which it was collected.
The DUAA (Data (Use and Access) Act 2025) came into law on 19 June 2025. We are currently reviewing and updating our information pages to account for the changes to UK data protection law introduced by the Act. If you need any expert guidance on how your data processing obligations will change, contact our experts today.
