<p>The Government has committed to maintaining a high level of data protection standards,
which are set out in the Data Protection Act 2018.</p><p>These safeguards allow the

maintain them. Access and use of data should always be done lawfully, safely and securely.
We reiterate that National Health Service data must always be held securely, with
appropriate and strong privacy and cyber-security protections.</p><p>As the United
Kingdom leaves the European Union we have made arrangements with the United States

data from the UK to US Privacy Shield participant organisations can continue to be
made under the Privacy Shield Framework.</p>
