Happy International Data Privacy Day for Saturday! And what better reason than that to explore what 2023 is likely to have in store for data and privacy?

We are just over one  year on from the UK government hinting that it might think outside the box in terms of data protection regulation. Two years on from the introduction of the UK GDPR in a post-Brexit Britain. Three years on from the start of a global pandemic which forced a discussion around the tension between public health and data privacy. And over four years on from the GDPR coming into force across Europe, and by extension the world. But the passing of time does not appear to have diminished the worldwide focus on data and privacy issues.
