The General Data Protection Regulation (#GDPR) and forthcoming Data Protection Act will come into force on 25 May 2018 in the UK.
This animation is based on guidance produced by the MRC Regulatory Support Centre, which was written in consultation with the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
In the UK, the use of identifiable information is primarily governed by the common law of confidentiality and #data protection law.
Common law requires researchers to respect any ‘duty of confidence’ when accessing or sharing confidential #information. Learn more about confidentiality and how it relates to data protection.
UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sits alongside the Data Protection Act 2018 to form primary data protection law in the UK. UK GDPR retains very similar principles, rights and obligations to those found in EU GDPR. If you collaborate with researchers in Europe, then EU GDPR may still directly apply to you.
