If the UK leaves the EU without a deal then it's likely that
we'll become a "third country" under EU data
protection laws. This means that, despite having implemented the
GDPR, the UK will no longer be deemed to offer adequate protection
of European personal data.
If you import personal data from the EEA then you should ensure
that you have Standard Contractual Clauses in place with the
exporter before the end of the transition period. If you won't
be keeping an establishment in the EU, then you may also need to
appoint a local representative.
