Data Protection law
Due to increasing requirements to obtain client data and record keeping under AML and MiFID II legislation the area of data protection is becoming more complex.
Better Regulation’s UK Data Protection Law Online covers all the applicable data protection legislation and the latest developments affecting the financial services industry. Our legislation coverage includes fully consolidated and up-to-date versions of the Data Protection Act 1998, as well as the Data Protection Directive and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We publish updates and guidance from the Information Commissioner's Office as well as from European and international bodies.
Data Protection is also one of our Topics areas, which has links to latest news and developments, key documents and a summary of the GDPR.
