Here is the honest situation. The UK Data (Use and Access) Act reforms UK data protection, amending the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act and PECR and reconstituting the regulator as the Information Commission. It introduces recognised legitimate interests that need no balancing test, confirms a reasonable and proportionate approach to subject access, reforms solely automated decision-making, adjusts the cookie rules and raises PECR penalties toward GDPR levels, reforms international transfers, and creates frameworks for smart data schemes and digital verification services. Working out what changes for your organization and updating your compliance is real work, and continuing on the old rules or misapplying a recognised legitimate interest is exactly where organizations fall short.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every change written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence the Information Commission examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 as it reforms the UK GDPR, the DPA 2018 and PECR, with the recognised legitimate interests, the reformed subject access and complaints, the automated decision-making and cookie changes, the international transfer reform and the smart data and digital verification frameworks called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is mapping the changes to your data protection regime, where the transition begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A basis or safeguard you cannot evidence is exposure to the Commission. This tells you what is examined and where organizations fall short, for every change.
- Legitimate interests, PECR and transfers built in. The recognised legitimate interests, the reformed PECR and cookie rules and the international transfer test are written into the controls, the substance of the reform.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The Act reforms the UK GDPR and PECR you already work with, so this transition slots into your existing privacy program.
Who buys this
Organizations subject to UK data protection, and the privacy, legal, marketing and data leads who own the transition to the reformed regime. Whether it is a first gap assessment or a full transition, you save weeks and walk in with the reforms mapped to controls.
Common questions

Is this legal advice? No. It is an implementation toolkit grounded in the Act. For a specific matter consult counsel; this gets your controls and records in order fast.
Does it cover recognised legitimate interests? Yes. Applying the recognised legitimate interests that need no balancing test is built as a control.
Does it cover the higher PECR penalties? Yes. Reviewing marketing and cookie practices against the raised PECR penalties is built as a control.
