EC issues data advice as Brexit approaches
The European Commission (EC) is urging businesses and public bodies to take all necessary steps to ensure compliance of any personal data transfers between the UK European Union after the Brexit transition ends on 31 December.
“Compliance can be achieved by having appropriate safeguards in place as foreseen by the General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR], including binding corporate rules or through specific derogations,” the EC said in a document to help companies and others to prepare for the changes after the transition period.
