Accordingly, the adequacy decisions issued for the 11 above jurisdictions remain in place and data can continue to flow freely to them.
Today, the European Commission successfully completed the review of 11 existing adequacy decisions. These decisions were made under EU data protection law, which was in place before the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force.
In its report, the Commission points out that personal data transferred from the European Union to Andorra, Argentina, Guernsey, Switzerland, Israel, Canada, New Zealand, Isle of Man, Uruguay, Jersey and the Faroe Islands continue to enjoy adequate protection safeguards.
Accordingly, the adequacy decisions issued for the 11 above jurisdictions remain in place and data can continue to flow freely to them.
According to the review, the data protection frameworks in the above jurisdictions have been further aligned with the EU framework and have strengthened the protection of personal data.
The GDPR has inspired positive changes, such as establishing new rights for individuals, strengthening the independence and powers of privacy enforcement authorities, and modernizing the rules on international transfers.
