GDPR, go gettem.

You cannot share customer data with third parties without explicit consent. It has to be clearly labelled and not hidden in T&Cs

That's an EU thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's still a uk thing. I was the GDPR officer for our company when it was introduced and as far as I know it hasn't been repealed in UK law yet.

Edit: Looking into it further it appears that we now have a UK GDPR law which is essentially the same thing and is in lockstep with the EU version.

UK also has GDPR. They left the EU after GDPR was passed and now have "UK GDPR" which is practically the same as the EU
