Directive 2002/58/EC concerns the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector. It was transposed into UK law principally by the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR). Commission Regulation 611/2013 supplements requirements set out in the Directive by specifying the circumstances, format and procedures applicable to notifications required. This instrument makes technical amendments to legislation relating to the notification of personal data breaches by providers of electronic communications services, and revokes direct EU legislation which is redundant or otherwise inappropriate to retain on the UK’s statute book after exit from the EU.
