International Data Transfers

GDPR restricts transfers of personal data outside the EEA unless appropriate safeguards are in place. Websites must implement technical and legal measures to ensure data protection standards are maintained when data crosses borders. This includes using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), ensuring adequacy decisions exist, or implementing binding corporate rules.

Technical implementation of transfer safeguards includes encrypting data before transfer, implementing access controls at destination, maintaining transfer logs, and ensuring ability to suspend transfers if necessary. Websites must also maintain records of all international transfers and the safeguards applied.
