<p>The UK has a long history of protecting the rights of its citizens, and we intend
to continue<br>to protect those rights through our domestic legislation. The Data
Protection Bill will set<br>high standards for protecting personal data in accordance
with the GDPR. We will<br>continue to provide a world-class standard
of data protection after we leave the European<br>Union</p><p>The removal of
the Charter from UK law should not affect the substantive rights that<br>individuals
already benefit from in the UK when their data are processed. The Charter is<br>not
the source of rights contained within it, it was intended only to catalogue rights
that<br>already existed in EU law. The Government has committed to implementing the
GDPR,<br>which affords individuals judicial redress in the event of a data breach.</p>
