International Data Transfers
- The GDPR ensures that the rights and safeguards it provides to individuals in the EU are preserved when their data are transferred outside of the Union
- The European Commission will continue to adopt adequacy decisions where a country offers a legal framework for data protection that is essentially equivalent to the EU.
- Without an adequacy decision, data can be transferred to a country if the processing organisation puts in place binding corporate rules, contractual clauses or other appropriate safeguards.
- Without these, transfers can only take place under strict circumstances, for example, with the consent of the individual or where the transfer is necessary for the conclusion or the performance of a contract.
