Transatlantic Data Transfers
Transatlantic data transfers refer to the movement of digital information between the European Union (EU) and the United States. These transfers are essential for businesses and organizations that operate across the Atlantic, enabling them to share data efficiently and maintain operations.
However, these transfers are subject to strict regulations, particularly due to concerns about privacy and data protection. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU imposes rules on how personal data can be transferred outside the region, requiring safeguards to ensure that individuals' privacy rights are upheld.
