The UK–US Data Access Agreement (DAA) that was signed by the two nations back in 2019 is scheduled to come into effect on Oct. 3 this year, according to a joint statement issued by both countries.
“The Data Access Agreement will allow information and evidence that is held by service providers within each of our nations and relates to the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of serious crime to be accessed more quickly than ever before,” the statement said, according to a July 21 U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) press release.
