Brexit: Appointment of a UK representative for the processing of personal data

20. January, 2021

Erla S. Árnadóttir, attorney and partner at LEX wrote an article in the Icelandic newspaper Fréttablaðið, where she points out one of the effects of Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union when it comes to the processing of personal data. British law now requires that data controllers and processors who process data that are not established in the UK must appoint a representative to the British data protection authorities. Icelandic companies that process personal data about British parties should investigate further whether the requirement applies to them.

Erla S. Árnadóttir (erlas@lex.is) can mediate further counselling regarding this requirement.
