As Members of the Creative Industries Federation we have been provided with the following important briefing for NI organisations preparing for Brexit.

The Department for Exiting the European Union has put together a preparedness exit site which helps with understanding what your business or organisation may need to do to prepare for Brexit, what’s changing in your industry, and information on specific rules and regulations. Use this information to understand how leaving the EU may affect your business or organisation and what you can do to get ready. They have also created some more specific advice around data protection which you can find below.

• ICO Six Steps – Six steps you can take now to start preparing for data protection compliance if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

• ‘Using personal data and Brexit’ – A gov.uk summary of the guidance

• ICO Data Protection & Brexit page – the ICO main page for Brexit resources.

• If you have questions on the guidance, please contact the ICO.
