Business As Usual - Post Brexit Data Flows With The Crown Dependencies

The past week has seen the draft Brexit proposals being released in draft form, together with other related documents setting out the "vision" for the UK's relationship with Europe in the coming years. The Withdrawal Agreement is in draft form and ultimately subject to a vote in Parliament, so may yet founder. However, it is useful in terms of outlining how data protection transfers are intended to be treated in the aftermath of the UK leaving the European Union on 29 March 2019.

The UK will remain subject to Union law until at least 31 December 2020 (which marks the expiry of the Transition Period), given that it has the option to extend Transition once. GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive will continue to apply during Transition.
