The simple answer is NO and one of the biggest misrepresentations over the last six years is that it has been portrayed that way.
Yes, it provides rights to individuals but it also gives rights to the organisations implementing UK GDPR.
No-one has absolute control over how their data is collected, used or shared and with the advent of social media before 2018, peoples expectations had been “managed” by companies such as Facebook, Twitter/X and other companies that rose and fell over the last twenty years.
They made money based on what they offered to people for “free” without most people realising that their information was the actual commodity.
UK GDPR does not reset that model – all it does it set out a framework but it is still caveat emptor – let the buyer beware.
