Are we transferring personal data to countries that lack adequate privacy protections?
Are we transferring personal data to countries that lack adequate privacy protections?
- AI systems may store or process data in countries with weaker privacy protections, leading to GDPR violations.
- Transfers outside the EU/EEA may violate: GDPR Art. 44-46 restricting international data transfers without adequate safeguards.
- If personal data is processed in non-compliant jurisdictions, organizations face legal, financial, and reputational risks.
If you answered Yes then you are at risk
If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too
Recommendations
- Conduct a Data Transfer Impact Assessment (DTIA) before processing data outside GDPR-compliant regions.
- Use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), or adequacy decisions when transferring data.
- Store and process personal data in localized environments to comply with data sovereignty laws.
- Implement encryption and anonymization before data is transferred across jurisdictions.
- Continuously monitor regulatory updates to ensure ongoing compliance with global privacy laws.
