An International Data Transfer Agreement covers the lawful transfer of personal data from the UK to a non‑EEA country under UK GDPR. A solicitor in this area drafts, negotiates and finalises the contract terms, ensuring appropriate safeguards such as UK-adopted standard contractual clauses, supplementary measures and data processing roles are correctly set out. They review the transfer impact, carry out data protection assessments, and advise on breach, audit or termination provisions, so transfers remain compliant and enforceable.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Transfers to non-UK destinations raise specific safeguards and documentation. A solicitor explains the legal mechanism, identifies required clauses, and ensures contractual clarity on controller-processor roles, security measures, data subject rights, and enforcement. They align the agreement with UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and any applicable sectoral rules, minimising risk of unlawful data sharing or post‑transfer liabilities.
