The Brexit Agreement And Data Flows: A View From Finland

The Brexit Agreement will keep data flowing across the Channel until up to 1 July 2021: what does it mean and how should organisations prepare to ensure the lawfulness of data transfers to the UK?

The EU and UK reached a Trade and Co-operation Agreement ('Brexit Agreement') on 24 December 2020 bringing clarity to many complex issues following the end of the Brexit transition period, including transfers of personal data. Transfers of personal data to the UK may continue as normal for up to six months after the Brexit transition period ended on 31 December 2020 until the EU Commission makes an adequacy decision concerning the UK.
