Practice notes

This tracker covers the development of the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (also known as the UK-US Data Bridge)

Created in the wake of the Safe Harbour and Privacy Shield schemes being struck down, this tracker follows progress on the UK-US Data Bridge. The arrangement enables lawful international transfers of personal data to the US via an adequacy regulation—the Data Protection (Adequacy) (United States of America) Regulations 2023, SI 2023/1028—where the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, Assimilated Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (UK GDPR) would otherwise bar such movements. The UK-US Data Bridge rests on a distinct adequacy decision made under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (EU GDPR), adopted by the European Commission in July 2023 to implement the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. For added detail on that EU GDPR adequacy decision, see Practice Note: EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF)—tracker. For broader guidance on the UK GDPR, see Practice Note: The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). For insight into the notion of assimilated law, see Practice Note: Assimilated law. A summary of the adequacy concept appears below; nonetheless, this tracker should be read alongside Practice Note:...
