Data transfers under the GDPR to the United Kingdom after Brexit
EU LAW FIRM LEGAL NEWS • January 4, 2021As of 1 January 2021, the UK will no longer apply the General Data Protection Regulation to the processing of personal data, therefore a separate legal framework regarding data protection will be in force in the UK. If your company operates in the EU and transfers personal data to the UK, as well as the same apples to all transfers of personal data between stakeholders subject to GDPR, that kind of transfer of personal data will constitute a transfer of personal data to a third country and therefore will be subject to the provisions of Chapter 5 of the GDPR.
