What does Privacy policy mean? In practice, a privacy policy is the external-facing privacy notice a data controller provides to individuals—commonly on a website, app or at the point of collection—explaining how their personal data will be processed. The term is not defined in statute; its content derives from the transparency duties in Articles 13 and 14 of the UK GDPR/EU GDPR and the UK and Irish Data Protection Acts 2018, and is guided by ICO and DPC practice.

On 19 June 2025, the Data (Use and Access) Bill obtained Royal Assent, becoming the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (DUAA 2025), with provisions also coming into force in part on that day. Certain DUAA 2025 provisions, addressing matters such as handling data subject access requests and the conferral of powers to make further regulations, commenced straightaway on 19 June 2025. Other provisions, relating to notices issued by the Information Commissioner and specific aspects of law enforcement processing, took effect on 19 August 2025 (being two months from the date of Royal Assent). The majority of DUAA 2025’s provisions will only commence once additional regulations are made, in the form of statutory instruments, to bring them into effect. Parts 5 and 6 of DUAA 2025 serve to amend aspects of Data protection and ePrivacy law in the UK, including the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, Assimilated Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, SI 2003/2426...

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
