GDPR: Introduction to the Data Protection Bill.

About the ‘Introduction to the Data Protection Bill’ This document is intended as an introduction to the content and structure of the Data Protection Bill for organisations and individuals who are already familiar with data protection law and the GDPR. It seeks to help you navigate your way around the Bill and focus on the sections that are most relevant to you. It is vital that you review the precise wording of the Bill and take account of changes that will occur as the Bill passes through Parliament. The Bill can appear to be a complex piece of legislation as it brings together four regimes of data protection law. In practice, most organisations will be concerned with only the two ‘general processing’ regimes in Part 2, which are intended to operate in a very similar manner. The other two regimes apply to a limited group of controllers: law enforcement ‘competent authorities’ and the intelligence services. Individuals may of course be affected by processing which is regulated under any one of the four regimes. Although again it is likely the general processing regimes in Part 2 will be the most relevant to the day to day lives of individuals.

The Information Commissioners Office intend to produce detailed guidance once the Bill has been enacted.
