1. What is UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018?

As a UK-based organisation, TAP WATER WORSHIP adheres to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), which is the UK’s version of the EU GDPR, and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018). These form the legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information from individuals within the United Kingdom. While closely aligned with the original EU GDPR in its core principles and individual rights, the UK GDPR has been tailored for the domestic context. It aims to give individuals more control over their personal data and ensures a robust data protection standard within the UK.
