How ActionLab Complies with UK Data Protection Act 2018

Lawful basis

No personal data is processed. Aggregate analytics do not constitute personal data under the UK DPA.

Data minimization

Only aggregate traffic metrics collected — the minimum needed for useful analytics.

Data subject rights

No personal data stored means no data subject rights to exercise.

International transfers

No personal data is transferred, so international transfer restrictions do not apply to ActionLab data.

Summary

ActionLab Analytics is compliant with UK Data Protection Act 2018 by design. Because no personal data is collected, no cookies are used, and no cross-session tracking occurs, the compliance burden associated with analytics is eliminated entirely. You do not need consent banners, data processing agreements, or complex configuration to use ActionLab in United Kingdom.
