Reform UK proposes replacing UK GDPR with New Zealand-style privacy law
Image: Primary Reform UK has proposed abolishing the UK GDPR and replacing it with a lighter privacy regime modelled on New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020. The party announced the pledge as part of a small-business package. The source says New Zealand's penalty cap is NZ$50,000, while Britain's Information Commissioner can issue multi-million-pound fines. Reform says the change would preserve the UK's EU data-adequacy status, but the proposal does not explain how it would meet the EU's equivalence standard.
