The UK has an equivalence agreement with the EU, which unlike a trade agreement can be rescinded quickly (something like 4 weeks). This means that we have to have equivalent provisions to continue to handle data about EU citizens.
so the UK might be "departing" from GDPR in name, it won't be in substance just by this act.
This of course assumes the the UK is acting rationally.
