The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) made our data protection laws fit for the digital age and empowered people to take control of their data.</p><p> </p><p>The DPA and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) introduced a duty on all organisations including social media companies to notify certain types of personal data breaches to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).</p><p> </p><p>Under the GDPR, a company may designate one national regulator in the European Union as its “lead supervisory authority”, so that it does not have to deal with 28 separate regulators. In the case of Facebook, the Irish Data Protection authority takes that role and is therefore leading on this breach.</p><p> </p><p>The ICO is working with its Irish counterpart to ensure that it fulfils its role to protect UK citizens data. This includes establishing the number of UK users affected.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James grouped question UIN 235746 question first answered 27/03/2019 15:05:27 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
