Event Summary

Following Royal Assent, the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 is being phased in between June 2025 and June 2026. Are you ready for and compliant with the DUAA provisions that will be enforced from June 2026?

Westminster Insight’s timely Data Protection Conference returns on Thursday, 23rd April 2026 to bring together policymakers, regulators and industry leaders at a critical moment for UK data reforms.

Join us to prepare for the next stages of the Act and harness its advantages as an organisation aiming to improve economic growth, public services, and harness innovation.

With smart data initiatives like open banking already transforming everyday life, the Act opens the door for similar innovations across different sectors. Learn how to leverage these new opportunities by deploying effective smart data systems and automated decision making (ADM) that enhance customer experience, meet legal and regulatory standards, and build consumer trust.

We will consider the latest development in AI and biometric technologies, gain insight on the importance of balancing innovation, risk and regulation, while spotlighting the UK Government’s regulatory approach to AI and intellectual property rights.

What are the next steps for digital ID and verification? Revisiting the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework, explore how developing a good digital identity scheme sets the foundation for the forthcoming digital identification cards?

Address the changes to UK GDPR and PECR, what they mean for personal data collection and reuse, and subject access requests (SARs)’ rules.

The DUAA aims to improve citizen experience and government interaction, leading to engagement with a more efficient and streamlined public sector services and modern digital government. Discover how to create a digital environment which fosters trust and enhances user experience across the private and public sector.

Address the meaning of the EU’s recent Digital Omnibus proposal and its impact of international data transfers.
