SUMMARY:Thorntons Data Protection Webinar - Transferring personal data outside the UK
DESCRIPTION:When transferring personal data outside the UK to a country that does not provide adequate protection\, the UK organisation must put in place an appropriate transfer mechanism.  More often than not\, UK organisations rely on the old EU’s Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”).  \nRecognising that the old EU SCCs required an overhaul\, the Department for Culture\, Media and Sport (DCMS) consulted on a UK approach to international transfers of personal data.  Following this\, the DCMS laid\, on 28th January 2022\, the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA)\, the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU SCCs and a document setting out the transitional provisions as to the use of the current SCCs for international data transfers\, before Parliament.  Unless objections are raised\, the documents will enter into force on 21 March 2022 and will have an immediate impact on international data flows from the UK. \nJoin Partner Loretta Maxfield to explore what this means for UK organisations sharing personal data outside of the UK and also gain practical insight into what your business needs to do next. \nThis one hour webinar and Q&A will cover: \n\nContext to understand the background to these reforms.\nThe impact of these reforms on transferring personal data outside of the UK.\nPractical insight on steps your organisation needs to take to prepare for these documents coming into force on 21 March 2022.\n\nWhat will I learn? \nYou will be given practical tips and advice on how your organisation can prepare for these new documents coming into place next month. \nWho should attend? \n\nAnyone responsible for managing privacy\, data protection or governance and operations\nManagers\nBusiness owners
