EU Rules Restricting the International Transfer of Non-Personal Data

The Case

While the EU GDPR regulates the international transfer of personal data, several recently enacted EU laws regulate the international transfer of non-personal data, which is any data that is not “personal data” under the GDPR. In other words, these new laws apply to data that does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person, including anonymized data and data about industrial equipment, significantly expanding the types of data subject to international transfer restrictions.


Why Does This Matter?

The EU-US Adequacy Decision has been recently adopted. It will replace the Privacy Shield, which guides companies in transferring data between the two countries through self-certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. 

The new Adequacy Decision Framework introduced significant improvements compared to the mechanism under the Privacy Shield.
