The UK GDPR and the EU GDPR are closely aligned. The UK retained the EU regulation when it left the Union, with oversight now handled by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) instead of the European Data Protection Board.

For companies handling DPP data, the key principles remain identical:

  • Lawful processing
  • Data minimisation
  • Transparency and accountability

Digital Product Passport systems generally handle product and material data, not personal data. But supplier, contact, or certification details can still fall under GDPR scope.

TraceID.io ensures that all DPP-related data processing complies with both UK and EU privacy frameworks, maintaining transparency while protecting commercially sensitive and personal information.
