Danish DPA bans Google Workspace and US transfers
Danish DPA with most significant (?) decision since the Schrems II ruling – banning Google products and US transfers.
The Danish data protection authority (DPA) Datatilsynet published a decision relating to the municipality Helsingor and their processing of personal data in the primary and lower secondary school (“folkeskole”).
With the decision DPA ordered Helsingor municipality to suspend all US transfers and imposed a general ban on all processing in Google Workspace, giving them a deadline until 3 August.
While decision considers specific municipality, DPA also writes that many of their conclusions “likely will apply to other municipalities using the same processing setup” and expects them to “take necessary actions”.
