International Data Transfers (Schrems II)
Also: Schrems II, Data Transfers
The GDPR rules and case law governing when and how personal data may leave the EU, shaped heavily by the Schrems II ruling on transfers to countries without equivalent protection.
Why it matters
If you move European personal data to tools or servers outside the EU, notably to the US, you need a valid transfer mechanism. This is a recurring sticking point in European enterprise deals and a genuine compliance risk.
What good looks like
Compliant transfers rely on a recognized mechanism (such as an adequacy decision, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable, or standard contractual clauses with appropriate safeguards) and an assessment of the destination's protections.
In the European market
This is squarely a European concern and a frequent blocker when EU buyers evaluate US-headquartered vendors, so having clear answers is both compliance and sales hygiene.
