Article summary

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has adopted final guidelines clarifying Article 48 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)) regarding data transfers to third country authorities. The guidelines establish that judgements from non-European authorities cannot automatically be enforced in Europe, requiring either an international agreement providing legal basis and transfer grounds, or consideration of alternative legal bases in exceptional circumstances. The updated guidelines include new clarifications on processor obligations and parent company-subsidiary data transfer scenarios. The EDPB has also launched two Support Pool of Experts training initiatives addressing artificial intelligence compliance and data protection requirements.
