UK GDPR in clinical trials
Post-Brexit: UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 in clinical research.
UK GDPR post-Brexit
After Brexit, the UK has its own GDPR version (UK GDPR) + Data Protection Act 2018. Principles are equivalent to EU GDPR with separate authority (ICO).
There's an EU-UK adequacy decision through 2028, easing transfers without SCCs.
Practical implications
- •EU↔UK transfers without SCCs (adequacy in force)
- •UK↔other countries need UK IDTA or Standard Data Protection Clauses
- •ICO instead of AEPD/CNIL as authority
Trialinx coverage
- ✓DPA UK GDPR compatible
- ✓UK residency configurable on request
- ✓ICO breach reporting
