GDPR after Brexit 스레드 게시자: Agneta Pallinder

I have just been contacted by an EU-based agency to say that after Brexit the GDPR-related data protection agreement I have with them is no longer seen as acceptable by their lawyers. They are exploring various - cumbersome - ways forward, but I wonder if anyone else has experienced this new Brexit-problem.

I'm afraid this is just the beginning. I've already come across quite a few things that have now become more complicated, expensive and annoying since the UK left the EU.
For example, I sent a photobook to a family member for Christmas this year. I was a bit late, and so sent it once the UK had left the EU. Here is what I had to do to send it via Parcelforce courier (which already wasn't cheap):

• Print out, complete and sign 4 invoices and 3 forms (!!!) and attach them to my package in a clear plastic envelope labelled ‘Customs Documents’
• Complete another form with the Parcelforce delivery guy who came to collect the parcel
• The recipient then had to pay an extra €25 upon receiving the item (which no one warned me about!; great gift to receive, one you first have to pay for)
If this is what ‘taking back control’ looks like, you can have your control back! I just want to be able to send things to Europe at a reasonable price. Is that too much to ask?
I'm no historian or economist, but so far leaving seems like one of the dumbest things this country has ever done.

Sorry, back to your topic:
Great, so now we will probably have to sign a whole bunch of new (pointless) documents, all over again.

No, presumably because UK data protection law is effectively the same. But at worst you have to sign a new contract, no? It’s their problem, not yours 🤷♂️

I haven't experienced any problems in this regard. A couple of weeks ago, I watched a 45-minute-long government webinar about the issue. It was not one of the most professional webinars I've ever seen, shall we say, and the title gave the impression that the rules have changed, but what I eventually found out - both during the webinar and elsewhere through my own research online - is that the rules haven't changed yet.

My vague (and very possibly imperfect) understanding is this. Under the eleventh-hour agreement that was eventually reached, the EU and the UK decided that the rules regarding personal data flows between them will stay the same for now pending an "adequacy decision" which may, or may not, be taken by the European Commission by the end of April. If it decides that the UK's data protection laws are adequate in its eyes, then it's likely that little or nothing will change in practice after that. The Commission might decide to delay its decision until the end of June if it feels it needs more time. So it's a case of "watch this space". What the government is suggesting in the meantime is that businesses add something called "Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)" to their data protection agreements with business partners in case an adequacy decision is not granted, but personally, I'll only cross that bridge if I come to it as it looks like a bit of a faff. ▲ Collapse

Yes, and the people who voted for it are just beginning enjoy the fruits of their wise, well-informed, carefully thought-through decision. They are sitting in sunlit uplands, free at last from the evil Brussels red tape.
BTW where did you get the clear plastic envelope (to contain the triplicate forms, without which your parcel would not have been accepted)?

Thanks to all who replied - those who vented (I share their feelings) and those - especially Julia - who gave helpful advice.
