Data Localization versus International Data Transfers in Big Data Scenarios

More and more countries are asking companies exporting personal data to take extra steps in providing guarantees that exported personal data is offered the same level of protection as it has in the country of origin. EU’s Court of Justice, in its famous Schrems II decision that invalidated Privacy Shield, the mechanism for the free flow of data between EU companies and selected US companies, made it clear to all data exporters that they need to take all technical and organizational measures to protect exported personal data. Thus, new terms such as TIAs (Transfer Impact Assessments) and BYOK (Bring Your Own Key – encrypted data on foreign servers, key residing only in EU locations) appeared. In this presentation, you will learn how to deal with international data transfers in big data scenarios through examples and best practices, understand the challenge and take the best decisions that don’t hamper the transfers of personal data.
