Overview Of Binding Corporate Rules

Binding Corporate Rules (BCR): Corporate rules for data transfers within multinational companies.

In my recent foray into information technology ("IT") laws, with a specific focus on European IT laws, I have had an opportunity to delve into data protection laws and how they play out in trans-continental transactions. In future posts, I will talk about the GDPR and Schrems I and Schrems II decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU"). However, in this post, I want to talk about the "Codes of Conduct for Data Transfer".

On July 7, 2021, the European Data Protection Board ("EDPB") published draft guidelines on codes of conduct for personal data transfers for consultation. These guidelines complement the EDPB's earlier guidelines on codes of conduct and monitoring bodies. The EDPB has invited comments and consultations from interested parties until October 1, 2021.
