The Data Retention Regulations 2014
These Regulations are made under the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 (‘the Act’). Section 1 of the Act contains a power for the Secretary of State to give a notice to a telecommunications operator requiring the retention of communications data of the types specified in the Schedule to these Regulations (which replicates the Schedule to the Data Retention (EC Directive) Regulations 2009). These Regulations make further provision in respect of that retention, and revoke the 2009 Regulations.
