The Referendum was non-binding, thus there has been no change to the law as a result of it.
It's also important to note that, IIRC, the Right to Privacy in the Charter of Fundamental Rights stems from Article 8 of the ECHR, thus still part of UK law via the Human Rights Act and has the same scope as specified in the ECHR. Though typically interpreted broadly, it is not a blanket right:
> There shall be no interference by a public authority with [the right to privacy] except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.
