On Friday, June 24, the UK electorate voted through a referendum to leave the European Union by a 52% majority. The mechanics of leaving the European Union will be complex, given that the referendum question did not spell out what relationship the UK would have with the EU once it has left, and there is widespread disagreement within the UK government around how and when the United Kingdom’s separation from the European Union should be implemented. One question is what effect Brexit will have on the continued application of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the UK.
