The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision adding descriptions of processing subject to Article 9(1) UK GDPR prohibition, removing added processing from it, or varying Article 9(2) exceptions for added processing. Under the 2018 Act (sections 42A and 91A), the Secretary of State may specify additional processing as sensitive processing for Part 3 or Part 4, provide that added processing is not sensitive processing, and vary reliance on protected conditions in Schedules 8 and 10. Under section 202A of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, regulations may specify descriptions of Part 4 sensitive processing that constitute sensitive processing for bulk personal datasets under section 202.
data_protection.processor_controls
Under section 45A of the 2018 Act, sections 44(2) and 45(1) do not require a controller to give information subject to legal professional privilege, confidentiality of communications in Scotland, or a legal adviser's duty of confidentiality to a client. A controller relying on the exemption must record the reason, provide it to the Commissioner on request, and inform the data subject in writing without undue delay of the decision, reasons, and rights to complain to the Commissioner or apply to court under section 167.
data_protection.processor_controls
Adherence to a code of conduct approved under section 71A of the 2018 Act may be used by a controller or processor to demonstrate compliance with Part 3 general obligations, security of processing under section 66(1), or sufficient processor guarantees under section 59(2). The Commissioner must encourage expert public bodies to produce and submit draft codes of conduct taking account of sector-specific features. If submitted, the Commissioner must provide an opinion, decide whether to approve, and if approved, register and publish the code.
data_protection.processor_controls
Under Chapter 8A of the UK GDPR (Articles 84A to 84D), personal data may only be processed for RAS purposes (scientific or historical research, public interest archiving, or statistical purposes) if it consists of collection, is carried out to convert data into non-identifying information, or the purposes cannot otherwise be fulfilled. Processing must be subject to appropriate safeguards respecting data minimisation (such as pseudonymisation). Safeguards are not satisfied if processing is likely to cause substantial damage or distress, or is carried out for measures or decisions regarding a particular data subject (except approved medical research). The Secretary of State may make further regulations regarding safeguards.
data_protection.processor_controls
Under section 78A of the 2018 Act, specified provisions of Part 3 (including principles, data subject rights, breach notifications, international transfers, and enforcement powers) do not apply to personal data processed for law enforcement purposes if exemption is required for safeguarding national security. Certain core provisions remain excepted from the exemption, including lawful processing obligations under section 35(1) and sensitive processing safeguards. Under section 79, a certificate signed by a Minister of the Crown certifying that exemption is or was required is conclusive evidence of that fact.
data_protection.processor_controls
The Commissioner may give an assessment notice requiring a controller or processor to arrange for an approved person to prepare a report on a specified matter and provide it to the Commissioner. The notice may specify terms regarding preparation, contents, form, and completion date. The controller or processor must nominate a person within the specified period, pay their remuneration and expenses, and provide all reasonable assistance. If no nomination is made or the nominated person is unsuitable, the Commissioner approves a suitable person.
data_protection.processor_controls
Where the Commissioner suspects a controller or processor of non-compliance or an offence under the 2018 Act, the Commissioner may by written interview notice require an individual who is, was employed by, or was concerned in the management of that controller or processor to attend a place and answer questions. It is an offence to knowingly or recklessly make a false statement in response to an interview notice. Notice requirements are suspended pending appeal unless urgent attendance is required on at least 24 hours' notice.
data_protection.processor_controls
A data subject may complain to a controller regarding alleged infringements of the UK GDPR or Part 3 of the 2018 Act. The controller must facilitate complaints (including providing electronic forms), acknowledge receipt within 30 days of receipt, take appropriate steps to respond without undue delay (including making enquiries and informing about progress), and inform the complainant of the outcome. The Secretary of State may make regulations requiring controllers to report complaint numbers to the Commissioner.
data_protection.processor_controls
Schedule 2 to the EITSET Regulations 2016 is amended to apply Data Protection Act 2018 enforcement provisions to trust service providers. This applies section 146A (assessment notices requiring an approved person to prepare a report) and sections 148A, 148B, and 148C (interview notices and false statement offences) to trust service providers in respect of failures to comply with eIDAS requirements or specified statutory offences.
trust_framework.dvs_certification
A relevant enactment or rule of law imposing a duty or conferring a power to process personal data does not override a requirement, prohibition, or restriction under the main data protection legislation, though such a duty or power may be taken into account for determining if an exception applies. The relationship between pre-commencement enactments and the main data protection legislation is not altered by the removal of EU law supremacy under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
data_protection.processor_controls
Under inserted regulation 32A of the PEC Regulations, the Commissioner must encourage representative bodies to produce codes of conduct to contribute to compliance and submit them in draft. Where submitted, the Commissioner must give an opinion, decide whether to approve, and if approved, register and publish the code. Approval requires a compliance monitoring mechanism, which for persons other than public bodies must involve an accredited body under regulation 32B. Under regulation 32B, the Commissioner may accredit a monitoring body satisfying independence, expertise, complaint handling, conflict of interest, and assessment standards. An accredited body must take appropriate action for infringements, and inform the Commissioner if suspending or excluding a person.

Under inserted section 154A(1), the Secretary of State may by regulations require providers of regulated services to provide information for purposes related to independent research into online safety matters. Regulations under section 154A(2) may govern applications, procedures, criteria, researcher access notices, formats, handling safeguards, fees, and enforcement. Under section 154A(3), enforcement provision may include investigations, reports, entry, inspection, audit powers, monetary penalties, and criminal offences not exceeding section 113 limits. Regulations cannot require personal data processing contravening data protection legislation or disclosure of material subject to legal professional privilege or confidentiality of communications under section 154A(6). Section 154A(7) requires consultation with OFCOM, the Information Commissioner, and industry and researcher representatives before making regulations.

Under inserted Article 45A, the Secretary of State may by regulations approve transfers of personal data to a third country or international organisation. Regulations may only be made if the Secretary of State considers that the data protection test in Article 45B is met. Under Article 45B, the data protection test is met if the standard of protection provided for data subjects regarding general processing is not materially lower than that provided by or under the UK GDPR, Part 2 of the Data Protection Act 2018, and Parts 5 to 7 of that Act so far as relevant. The Secretary of State must consider rule of law, human rights, enforcement authority powers, redress, onward transfers, international obligations, and constitution, traditions and culture.
data_protection.processor_controls
Under inserted Article 46(1A), a transfer of personal data to a third country or an international organisation by a controller or processor is made subject to appropriate safeguards only if safeguards are provided under paragraph 2 or 3 or regulations under Article 47A(4), and the controller or processor, acting reasonably and proportionately, considers that the data protection test is met; or if safeguards are provided under paragraph 2(a) by an instrument and each public body party to it, acting reasonably and proportionately, considers the test met. Under paragraph 6, the test is met if the standard of protection provided for the data subject after transfer by the safeguards and other means would not be materially lower than under UK GDPR, Part 2 of the 2018 Act, and relevant Parts 5 to 7.
data_protection.processor_controlssharing.secure
Under inserted section 74AA, the Secretary of State may by regulations approve transfers of personal data to a third country or international organisation only if the data protection test under section 74AB is met. The test is met if the standard of protection provided for data subjects regarding law enforcement processing is not materially lower than the standard provided under Part 3 and relevant Parts 5 to 7. The Secretary of State must consider rule of law, human rights, supervisory authorities, redress, onward transfer rules, international obligations, and culture.
