Data Protection and Data Transfers Law

This title brings together the different aspects of the transfer landscape and outlines the separate rules, all in one accessible place. Data transfers (under data protection rules) are one of the most discussed areas of data protection, and are currently undergoing significant change. Data transfers are relied on as an essential function of national and international trade, business, and internet use. It is essential for practitioners to keep abreast of the new data transfer rules and changes for their clients. Following on from Brexit, professionals now have more than one set of transfer rules to comply with, including:

- The different data transfer channels
- New Adequacy Decision
- New Standard Contract rules
- New UK Contract rules
- Consultation process on future laws
- New proposed UK data laws
- Data law and data transfer changes
- Practical and commercial considerations

There are more UK data transfer channels and rules to consider now than at any time previously. The UK data transfer regime is now more complex than the EU data transfer regime, necessitating significant extra diligence by commercial entities. This book is designed to assist UK and international law professionals, in-house data protection professionals and a wide range of other interested readers on the increasingly complex area of data rules.
