Yes. GDPR is the EU regulation, but member countries incorporated it into their domestic legislation. In the UK that's the Data Protection Act 2018.
To remove GDPR from the UK we'd have to change the data protection act.
- number6 6y agoDo you know if the Brexit would invalidate the act? I am not an expert on UK Law but I also wondered if it is possible that the reference on the GDPR would still be valid
- AndrewDucker 6y agoAt that point the UK could revoke or change the law. But it wouldn't automatically vanish.
- DanBC 6y agoNo, brexit will not invalidate the act. It's now UK law.
- number6 6y agoThanks for the clarification; most EU countries just made some kind of diff to the GDPR and did not make it an explicit law

So you can make legislation around a Regulation but can't override its effects.
