The aim of the regulation is to ensure all personal data relating to living EU citizens (including the UK) is protected and the companies who work with such data are held accountable for its protection. The Data Protection Act (DPA) 2018 has received Royal Assent and its main provisions also commenced on 25 May 2018. The new Act aims to modernise data protection laws to ensure they are effective in the years to come. At Purley Oaks we have always been committed to data privacy and protection.
