International transfers
In April, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) looked at the EU draft adequacy decisions giving the green light to international data transfers from the EU to the UK in a post-Brexit world. It acknowledged that there is alignment between the EU and UK laws but also expressed concerns. It has, though, issued a non-binding opinion recommending their acceptance. If accepted, the two adequacy decisions will run for an initial four years.
Last month the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) held its annual conference online. Deputy information commissioner Steve Wood confirmed that the ICO is working on bespoke UK standard contractual clauses (SCCs) for international data transfers which will be published for consultation in the summer.
