- jeroenhd 6y agoThe GDPR is implemented in British law, that's how these directives work. Once the UK leaves the EU, they're no longer obliged to keep their implementation of the GDPR. The government can choose to keep their implementation, and in practice keep the same regulations as the GDPR, or they could reduce or remove their privacy protection laws as they see fit. With London being famous for their camera surveillance, I expect the UK to reduce some if not all of the privacy protections the GDPR brought to the world.
- M2Ys4U 6y agoThe GDPR is a regulation (hence the R at the end) not a directive. It became UK law as soon as it was passed by the EU, and it didn't need to be implemented in to UK law. The UK has already passed their amendments to the GDPR,[0] which will effectively fork it into the "UK GDPR". These will come in to force on the 1st of January. There's a "Keeling Schedule" available[1], which is effectively a diff between the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR.
