Brexit and transfer of personal data to UK

Brexit and transfer of personal data to UK

European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has adopted on 12 February 2019 an information note on data transfers under the GDPR in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

EDPB confirms that as of 30 March 2019, unless an adequacy decision is adopted by the European Commission by then, data transfers must be based either on:

  • standard data protection clauses,
  • binding corporate rules
  • codes of conduct
  • derogations (strictly interpreted).

It is therefore recommended to:

  • identify the data processing which imply a data transfer to the UK,
  • amend the contract with appropriate clauses,
  • update internal documentation (register of processing operations),
  • update privacy notice.
