+Added: In addition, the EU GDPR prohibits the transfer of personal data from the EEA to the United States and other jurisdictions that the European Commission does not recognize as having “adequate” data protection laws unless a data transfer mechanism has been put in place.
+Added: In July 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union limited how organizations could lawfully transfer personal data from the EEA to the United States by invalidating the EU-US Privacy Shield for purposes of international transfers and imposed further restrictions on use of standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”) (i.e., an EU-style data transfer agreement), including a requirement for companies to carry out a transfer privacy impact assessment, which among other things, assesses laws governing access to personal data in the recipient country and considers whether supplementary measures that provide privacy protections additional to those provided under SCCs will need to be implemented to ensure an essentially equivalent level of data protection to that afforded in the EEA.
+Added: Moreover, new versions of the SCCs (new “EU SCCs”) have recently been published requiring additional compliance and implementation efforts.
+Added: Administrative fines for non-compliance with the EU GDPR can be significant and can amount to fines of up to the greater of €20.0 million or 4% of global annual revenues.

+Added: The requirements of the UK GDPR are (at this time) largely aligned with those under the EU GDPR and as such, may lead to similar compliance and operational costs with potential fines for non-compliance of up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual worldwide turnover.
+Added: As a result, we are potentially exposed to two parallel data protection regimes, each of which authorizes fines and the potential for divergent enforcement actions.
+Added: It should also be noted that the new EU SCCs do not automatically apply in the UK since Brexit, and the UK Government has not yet formally acknowledged the new EU SCCs, (i.e., as a valid data transfer mechanism under the UK GDPR).
+Added: Indeed, on August 11, 2021, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office launched a public consultation on its draft international data transfer agreement and guidance.
+Added: This included the publication of a draft UK addendum that can be used with the new EU SCCs – however, this is not (at this time) finalized and as such, for the time being transfers from the UK to a third country should continue to be made in reliance on the “old” SCCs.
