- Spearchucker 6y agoNote I said "possible". Your link specifically states "During the transition period the GDPR will continue to apply in the UK". That said, apparently they've just reached a deal, and the transition period ends in 7 days, so lets see what they decided about with data protection.

In essence, they've branched off their legal code from the EU bramch and can now commit changes to their orivate UK-only branch. GDPR rights will most likely get eroded in the UK.
