Not quite, the EU and UK have a draft adequacy agreement in place. Should be signed by the time the transition period ends.


Can you supply a link - the UK would need something like GDPR in law (which we currently have rolled over) for the EU to recognise our laws... it seems like it would be difficult and pointless to change to something that slightly differs from the GDPR only to have to implement all of it's concerns for EU data anyway...


The very article we've commented under makes this point, but if you want to see the specific agreement: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_21_...


Okay well if that is the case I'm less concerned!
