It is fully updated and expanded to include coverage of significant developments in the practice of data protection, and takes account of new legislation since the last edition. The sixth edition includes coverage of the Data Protection Act 2018, Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, and the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020, and contains relevant analysis of the effect of Brexit on UK data protection law.
Data Protection: A Practical Guide to UK Law is essential reading for all those working with data protection issues, including in compliance departments in both the public and private sectors, as well as in-house and private practice lawyers, company secretaries, HR Officers, marketing executives and IT specialists.

Reviews / Votes
To pull together such a comprehensive guide, Carey has worked with expert contributors from practice... Overall, I would highly recommend this book. It offers a comprehensive and timely guide to UK data protection law, which will be of real practical value to data protection practitioners, particularly in light of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. Furthermore, it would also be of value to academics specialising in this area of law who are interested in the practical interpretation and application of data protection legislation. * Dr Peter Coe, University of Reading, Computer and Telecommunications Law Review * [T]his is one of the most well-researched reference works on the subject ... The book overall makes an important addition to the library of every data privacy, data protection and security practitioner in the UK. * Ardi Kolah, Queen's University Belfast, Journal of Data Protection & Privacy *More details
