UK Data Protection: What happened in 2024 and what’s in store in 2025?

2024 has been a year of political change and uncertainty for data protection. The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill was making its way through Parliament but did not make it through during the ‘wash up’ period and so was not made into law.  The King’s Speech however, referred to a new Digital Information and Smart Data Bill which will impact on UK data protection law and the Data Use and Access Bill has now been introduced into Parliament.

In this webinar, we’ll be exploring this in more detail, looking back over 2024 and what we can expect for data protection in 2025, including:

  • The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill recap
  • The King’s speech and the Data Information and Smart Data Bill
  • The Data Use and Access Bill provisions and impact

Should you wish to discuss any of the issues highlighted in the webinar, please email marketing@clarkslegal.com.
