The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has refreshed its guidance on sending personal data overseas. The revisions are designed to streamline how organisations interpret and meet UK GDPR transfer obligations. The new materials set out a ‘three step test’ to determine when a transfer is restricted, expand FAQs to tackle queries commonly raised by organisations, and add detail on roles and responsibilities to reflect complex, multi-layered arrangements.
