GDPR to be scrapped in favour of UK data privacy regime The UK will scrap the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the European Union’s data privacy regime, and replace it with an alternative system in the UK, the digital and culture secretary Michelle Donelan has told the Conservative Party conference. Donelan said the proposed new system, details of which have not yet been revealed, will be simpler and clearer for businesses to navigate. “No longer will our businesses be shackled by lots of unnecessary red tape, ” said Donelan. “We will be replacing GDPR with our own business and consumer-friendly British data protection system. “Our plan will protect consumer privacy and keep their data safe, whilst retaining our data adequacy so businesses can trade freely.” The GDPR, which aims to enhance individuals’ rights to their own personal data, took effect across the UK, the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA) in May 2018. It applies to all businesses that process data held by anyone in these regions, regardless of where the business is based. The Data Reform Bill introduced in the summer is on hold while ministers review their approach. Nadine Norris, the former digital and culture secretary, said in June that measures in the bill would increase financial penalties for those pestering people with nuisance calls and minimise the number of cookie pop-ups people see on the internet. Donelan’s speech in Birmingham came after the prime minister announced the exemption of tens of thousands of employers from reporting obligations such as gender pay gap reporting as part of a “sweeping package of reforms to cut red tape”. Small and medium-sized businesses with fewer than 250 employees are currently exempt from regulatory requirements such as gender pay gap and executive pay ratio reporting. The government yesterday increased this threshold to 500 employees for all new regulations under development and said that it would apply this to retained EU law
