Archives and data protection law in the UK
Find an overview of the key implications of the The Data Protection Act 2018 for archives and archiving.
The Data Protection Act 1998 has been replaced by The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018). This results from new legislation in the EU: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The DPA 2018 makes additional provisions around areas not covered by GDPR, with implications for archives and archiving.
