As a third country, personal data transfers require additional safeguards. At the beginning of 2021, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement came into effect. A part of this Agreement includes a provision which allows data transfers to continue without additional mechanisms until an adequacy decision is adopted, for a maximum of six months.
