    Maybe a dumb question here from across the pond. Does GDPR even apply to the UK after Brexit?

      @BurningRiver @soggy_kitty Not directly, but the UK Data Protection Act adopts nearly every aspect of GDPR to allow for data portability. Eg this is especially important for fintech data but there’s good support for open science and open data in the UK too. https://www.gov.uk/data-protection

        Thank you very much for that. I work in an industry (in the US), but we have increasingly detailed training on GDPR, HIPAA (US healthcare information regulations), CCPA (California’s version of GDPR) and on and on. I didn’t know the UK had their own version.

        The lack of uniformity in the US is making it increasingly difficult to comply with everything over here, with states constantly passing their own laws on digital privacy, but those penalties for non compliance vary so greatly it’s almost impossible to follow.
