UK finally publishes revised standard form international data transfer agreements and conversion addendum for the use of revised EU SCCs
The UK government has finally published the UK’s own standard form international data transfer agreement (UK IDTA) for transferring personal data outside the UK to countries not deemed to have adequate data protection regimes. It has also published a standard form international data transfer addendum to the revised EU SCCs which allows use of the revised EU SCCs for export from the UK.
These documents have been laid before the UK parliament and will come into force on 21 March 2022 unless parliament raises objections. UK exporters may use the UK IDTA or the EU SCC UK Conversion Addendum for new exports following 21 March 2022 unless another export route such as BCRs or a derogation are available.
