Compliance requires trust.
UK GDPR is not a one-off legal project
For UK companies and businesses with UK customers, what matters today is that your processes demonstrably work – not just that policies are filed away somewhere.
The ICO isn't waiting on your roadmap
Fines under the UK GDPR can reach up to £17.5 million – or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher.
Your legal team keeps doing the same work over and over
Privacy notices, records of processing activities, DPAs, cookie consent: all of it has to stay current, and it quickly becomes a risk when it's maintained by hand.
One incident. 72 hours to react.
UK GDPR requires notifying the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of a reportable incident.
Central UK GDPR workflows, all in one place
Manage the day-to-day work behind UK GDPR compliance with structured workflows, clear ownership, and audit-ready documentation.
Record of Processing Activities

Data Protection Impact Assessments
Run structured DPIAs for new products, features, or high-risk processing. Standardized workflows help you assess, document, and track them.
Data Processing Agreement Management

Workflows for data breaches & notifications
Document incidents, assign ownership, and follow a clear response process – supporting faster escalation and better readiness to report.

Is the UK GDPR the same as the EU GDPR?
Is the UK GDPR the same as the EU GDPR?
Not quite. The basic principles are similar, but the UK has its own supervisory authority, its own guidance, transfer mechanisms, complaint requirements, and its own legal development since Brexit. If you operate in both the UK and the EU, you need a setup for both — without duplicating work.
We already have a privacy policy. Do we still need a platform?
We already have a privacy policy. Do we still need a platform?
A privacy policy is just one building block. UK GDPR also covers ROPA, consent records, data subject requests, trainings, DPIAs, breach readiness, vendor documentation, and evidence that processes work in practice.
How long does implementation take?
How long does implementation take?
Most teams build their foundation in weeks rather than months — depending on size, complexity, and existing documentation. heyData guides you through the setup so you don't start from scratch.
Do non-UK companies need to deal with the UK GDPR?
Do non-UK companies need to deal with the UK GDPR?
Yes, if they process personal data of individuals in the UK or offer goods or services in the UK. Depending on the setup, a UK representative may also be required, unless an exemption applies.
What has changed recently for UK companies?
What has changed recently for UK companies?
UK companies should keep an even closer eye on operational data protection processes, such as handling data protection complaints under the Data Use and Access Act. Clear responsibilities, documented workflows, and evidence are becoming even more important as a result.
Can heyData support UK GDPR and EU GDPR?
Can heyData support UK GDPR and EU GDPR?
Yes. heyData is built for multi-framework compliance, so companies can manage UK and EU requirements from a shared evidence base instead of duplicating work in separate tools.
