<p>The GDPR and Data Protection Act came into effect in 2018 and enshrines key principles
of purpose limitation and data minimisation in the processing of personal data. Government
is currently preparing a statutory code of practice for government departments and
public sector organisations to provide guidance on compliance with GDPR.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally,
in May this year, the Government Digital Service updated their Digital Service Standards.
These standards are publicly available and give users permission to copy, distribute
and use technology freely or at a low cost avoiding the need for duplication across
government. Furthermore we will publish a National Data Strategy, which will set out
how government will improve its approach to the handling and use of data.</p><p> </p><p>
