Third Country Data Transfers

Third country data transfers refer to the practice of sending personal data from a country with strict data protection laws to another country that may have less stringent regulations. This becomes significant in contexts like the European Union, where regulations like the GDPR safeguard individual privacy. When data is transferred to third countries, it's important to ensure that the receiving country offers adequate protection for that data to maintain privacy rights. Organizations must assess the risks and implement measures to protect personal information during and after these transfers.
