A Bill to amend the Data Protection Act 1998 to make provision about the transparency of privacy notices.
House of Lords
2 May 2017
The Online Privacy Protection Bill would change the Data Protection Act 1998 to require clearer, more transparent privacy notices. It aims to help people understand what data is collected about them, how it is used, stored and shared, and what rights they have. In short, it makes privacy notices easier to read and act on.
The bill is at the second reading stage in the House of Lords. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage in the Lords, then onward to the House of Commons for consideration.
