What Future For UK-EU Data Flows
October 29th, 2020 | Posted by in Data Transfer | Europe | Privacy - (0 Comments)With the Brexit transition period ending on 31 December 2020, and no deal in sight, the future of cross-border data transfers between the European Economic Area (the EEA) and the United Kingdom remains unclear. On 1 January 2021, the United Kingdom will be considered as a “third country” and, unless a Brexit deal is proposed dealing with data protection and how data transfers between the EEA and the United Kingdom are to be treated, it could be significantly more difficult for European Union (EU)-based entities to transfer personal data to the United Kingdom.

EU Data Protection: Standard Contractual Clauses May have Been Confirmed by the CJEU, But At What Price?
July 16th, 2020 | Posted by in Data Transfer | Europe | Privacy - (0 Comments)The long awaited Schrems II decision was published by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on 16 July 2020 (Court of Justice of the European Union – Grand Chamber – 16 July 2020 – C-311/18 – Schrems II) and while it has already been summarized as the death blow to the Privacy Shield framework and the confirmation of the validity of the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) by many, it may only be a Pyrrhic victory for the latter, as far as transfers to the US are concerned.
