Data export covers the transfer of personal data from the UK to outside the country, or to foreign organisations within the UK’s data protection regime. A solicitor in this area helps clients draft and negotiate transfer mechanisms, such as standard contractual clauses and supplementary measures, assess risks, and ensure compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. They also advise on data processing agreements, data protection impact assessments, and notice or consent requirements for cross-border data flows.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor develops and reviews transfer mechanisms (e.g., SCCs, UK IDTA), conducts DPIAs for high-risk transfers, and coordinates with processors and controllers to ensure lawful, documented data flows across borders. They identify obligations on data recipients, establish security measures, and manage breach notification implications to protect the client’s data position.
