	Outsourcing data processing to service providers is no excuse not to comply with GDPR, it is still up to the controller to ensure that the GDPR is complied with.

			===United Kingdom===
			[[United Kingdom]] adopted GDPR before formally withdrawing from the [[European Union]], after which it's referred to as UK GDPR. The UK does not restrict the transfer of personal data to countries within the EEA under UK GDPR, but is a third country under the EU GDPR. As part of the withdrawal agreement, the European Commission committed to perform an adequacy assessment, meaning that personal data may be transferred from EU member states to the UK.

	The regulation mandates several key requirements for organizations processing EU residents' personal data. These include obtaining explicit consent for data collection, ensuring data minimization and purpose limitation, implementing appropriate security measures, and honoring individuals' rights regarding their personal data. Organizations must also maintain detailed documentation of their data processing activities, report data breaches within 72 hours, and in some cases appoint Data Protection Officers. The regulation defines personal data broadly, encompassing everything from basic identifiers like names and email addresses to more complex data like location information, biometric data, and online identifiers.

	The GDPR has established a new global standard for data protection by codifying several fundamental principles, including transparency, accountability, and privacy by design. Organizations must not only comply with these principles but also be able to demonstrate their compliance through documentation and organizational measures. This comprehensive approach to data protection reflects the EU's position that privacy is a fundamental human right, building upon the privacy protections first established in the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights and updated for the digital age.
