Re: privacy, what privacy?
Sorry - I think it kind of does... This statement from The European Data Protection Board was released on Tuesday:
The EDPB wishes to remind all stakeholders that the transition period for the United
Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union will end on 31 December 2020. This means
that as of 1 January 2021, the UK will no longer apply the GDPR to the processing of personal
data and a separate legal framework regarding data protection and privacy will be in force in
the UK.
Unhelpfully they don't say exactly what is then in force, but I would be concerned..
