International data transfers – dealing with the consequences of Schrems II

In July 2020, the European Court of Justice struck down the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme and emphasised the additional steps that organisations need to take when relying on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for international data transfers. As the dust settles, what trends are we starting to see?

In this seminar we look at the fallout from this decision, including:

• An overview of what the Court said and the implications for international data transfers
• Guidance from the ICO and the European Data Protection Board
• The steps that organisations should take in relation to their existing international data transfers and before making any new transfers
• The potential impact on EU/UK data transfers following the end of the transition period
