How would a no-deal Brexit affect data protection?

Following the defeat for Theresa May's Brexit deal in the commons last night, it is looking increasingly likely that Britain is heading for a No-Deal exit from the European Union on 29th March 2019. Whatever your side of the debate, one thing is certain. A no-deal departure from the EU after 46 years of membership would be a significant change to the status quo. With that in mind, it is time (if you haven't already) to consider preparing your business for a no-deal Brexit. There is countless debate about the way EU departure will affect trade, the economy and laws. However, a point that is often overlooked is the effect it could have on Data Protection.
