International Data Transfers

The way in which international data transfers can legally be carried out has recently changed following key case law decisions and the UK’s exit from the EU.  We now have new mechanisms in place to allow international data transfers to take place legally with more changes in the pipeline.

We appreciate that for many businesses, knowing how to navigate this complex area can be daunting. Many do not know where to start, or do not know how and when data can be transferred internationally or which documents are required to be in place.

Our team of data protection experts can assist with this by providing advice and support to businesses which are transferring data across international borders.  This may be in the following ways:

• Assessing whether any data is being transferred internationally
• Advising if this transfer will amount to a “restricted transfer” under Article 46 of the UK GDPR
• If the transfer amounts to a restricted transfer, advising in relation to the safeguards that will need to be put in place
• Advising in relation to transfer risk assessments
• Assisting with the relevant policies and procedures.
