The UK government is pursuing reforms through the Data Use and Access Bill (DUAB) that aim to simplify data processing for law enforcement. However, critics caution that these changes, which include the routine transfer of data to offshore cloud providers and relaxed logging requirements, may jeopardize the UK's compliance with EU standards, risking the European Commission's data adequacy decision. The bill is currently under parliamentary review, with concerns focused on whether it sufficiently protects personal data in line with the Data Protection Act 2018 and EU directives.
The proposed amendments to the Data Use and Access Bill could challenge the UK's data adequacy by allowing routine data transfers to offshore providers without proper logging.
Critics argue this law change undermines the UK's compliance with EU standards and might lead to a revocation of the data adequacy granted by the European Commission.
