Spotlight on the UK data landscape
The UK is on the verge of passing the Data (Use and Access) Bill which reforms its data regulation regime and it has plans to introduce new cyber security legislation. We look at what this means and at some of the ICO's priorities, focusing on new anonymisation guidance and its 2025 online tracking strategy. We also look at the ICO's planned contribution to promoting economic growth, and at its first processor fine.

Managing HR data is an ongoing exercise for employers.

MoreData sharing
Data exports continue to be high on the agenda but data sharing (of personal and non-personal data) is being looked at much more widely by the EU and the UK in the context of providing individuals with control over their data, opening up the potential of big data, and breaking down barriers to competition. We look at incoming EU legislation relating to data sharing with particular focus on the draft Data Act, as well as at the ICO's Code of Practice on Data Sharing, Privacy Shield 2.0 and data sharing requirements for the UK's Pensions Dashboard.
MoreHealth data – getting the right balance between innovation and data protection
Personal health data attracts special protection but also benefits from exemptions under UK and EU data protection law. Have legislators and regulators got the balance between innovation and privacy right or do the rules overly restrict advances in healthcare provision and research?

We look at the UK's implementation of the GDPR journalistic exemption, at the ICO's recently published draft Code of Practice on journalism, the use of data protection law in media cases, and at the tensions between the right to privacy and to freedom of expression.
