Considerations for UK and US companies that are already or considering relying on the UK-US Data Bridge for personal data transfers.
By Fiona M. Maclean and Clayton Northouse
Latham & Watkins and Privacy Laws & Business recently co-hosted a webinar looking back on the first eight months since the UK-US Data Bridge entered into force. Speakers from the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the US Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board joined the panel for a broad discussion on the practical implementation and future outlook of the UK-US Data Bridge.
Below are key takeaways from the discussion and practical tips for UK and US organisations relying on the UK-US Data Bridge to facilitate personal data transfers to the US from the UK (and Gibraltar) while ensuring data is protected consistent with the standard imposed by UK law.
