We comply with key UK data protection laws to ensure personal data is handled securely and in line with legal requirements.
The UK GDPR, established on January 1, 2021, following Brexit, serves as the United Kingdom’s data protection framework. Derived from the EU GDPR, it has been adapted to align with UK laws and operates in conjunction with the Data Protection Act 2018. This regulation oversees how organizations process personal data, granting individuals rights such as accessing, rectifying, and erasing their data. It applies to any organization handling the personal data of UK residents, regardless of the organization’s location. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, including fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover. The primary goal of the UK GDPR is to maintain robust data protection standards within the UK. You can review the full text of UK GDPR here.
The Data Protection Act 2018 complements the UK GDPR by introducing additional provisions for specific sectors, such as law enforcement and healthcare. It establishes individuals’ rights over their data, including access, correction, and erasure, and outlines when personal data can be processed without consent. You can review the full text of the Data Protection Act 2018 here.
The Data Protection, Privacy, and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 were introduced to adapt UK laws after Brexit. These amendments ensure the continuity of data protection rules, particularly for electronic communications, while maintaining the free flow of data between the UK and the EU. You can review the full text of these amendments here.
By adhering to these laws, we ensure the protection of personal data and comply with both legal and ethical standards, building trust with our stakeholders.
The UK’s data protection authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The ICO provides oversight, guidance, and support for both individuals and organizations.
Netskope’s compliance framework covers all personal data we process in connection with our services, whether it relates to customers, employees, or third parties.
