ECJ: Individuals have the flexibility to choose between administrative and civil remedies under the GDPR

Extract :
"The UK GDPR provides for representative actions without authority under article
80(2); however, this needs to be implemented.
The UK Government refused to implement this collective redress mechanism, based
on corporate lobbyists argument that collective action would inconveniently expose
businesses to litigation. However, the UK Government also stated they would review
their position after Google vs. Lloyd. This case has now ended, and the UK Supreme
Court reasonably ruled out class-action style litigation in the data protection field.
If the Government stand by their promises, they should review their decision not to
implement Article 80(2). Representative actions without authority would be game-
changing, as it would allow public interest organisations to litigate against data
abuses on behalf of society, without the hurdles of involving and being authorised
on an individual basis. If you have an opportunity to do it, you should consider
applying pressure to the UK Government to review this decision."

"The UK GDPR and DPA 2018 set a maximum fine of £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover – whichever is greater – for infringements.
The EU GDPR sets a maximum fine of €20 million (about £18 million) or 4% of annual global turnover – whichever is greater – for infringements.
However, not all GDPR infringements lead to data protection fines. Supervisory authorities such as the UK’s ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) can take a range of other actions, including:
Issuing warnings and reprimands;
Imposing a temporary or permanent ban on data processing;
Ordering the rectification, restriction or erasure of data; and
Suspending data transfers to third countries."

Pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data.
Ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing activities.
The ability to restore personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident.
Regular security testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of processing."

personal data.
Under the UK GDPR, controllers are required to provide certain privacy information in relation to data
processing where personal data is collected directly from the data subject (under Article 13 of the UK
GDPR) and where it is collected indirectly, for example via a third party (under Article 14 of the UK GDPR,
subject to the exceptions in Article 14(5), such as where the data subject already has the information or
the provision of information proves impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort)."

"From exit day (currently 29 March 2019, unless amended by the Withdrawal Agreement) the GDPR will be retained in UK law under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Regulations made under that Act will ‘domesticate’ the GDPR so that it continues to be operable in a UK context, but the fundamental principles, including the requirement of Article 36(4) will remain the same. Therefore Government Departments and relevant public sector bodies will still be required by law to consult, within an appropriate time-frame, with the ICO on legislation and statutory measures relating to data processing."
