The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) brought about the biggest change in data protection law in the EU and the UK in more than two decades.

Presented in easily accessible parts covering Data Protection, ePrivacy, Freedom of information and Environmental Information, Cybersecurity and Human Rights, the second edition of the Butterworths Data Protection Law Handbook will also include new sections covering key legislation in a no deal Brexit, as well as relevant draft EU-UK withdrawal arrangements.
