Details

This SI will amend the UK’s data protection legislation by amending ‘fundamental rights and freedoms’ so they refer to rights recognised under UK law, rather than retained EU law rights. 

These retained EU law rights will not be recognised in UK law after the end of December 2023 as a result of changes made by the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023.
