Connect: Schrems II - the judgment and practical next steps for your business
On 16 July 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield as a mechanism for transfer of personal data from the EU to the United States. The decision is likely to have a profound impact, particularly where personal data is transferred between the EU and the US. In this podcast, Chris Ingram, Jonathan McDonald and Olivia Crane discuss the impact of the Schrems II decision and the practical steps businesses can take to ensure all international data flows remain legally compliant.
