On 15th December, Facebook publicly announced that from next year Facebook Inc in the US rather than Facebook Ireland will be the service provider responsible for UK users’ personal data.

The legislation will, therefore, continue to apply to Facebook's treatment of personal data of UK users when those users are served from the US.
The UK is committed to high data protection standards and we are confident that the UK’s data protection laws provide appropriate protection for UK users.
