About topic
Personal data flows to and from the EU/EEA are necessary for international trade and international cooperation. When personal data is transferred or made available to entities outside the territory of the EU or to international organizations, the conditions set out in Chapter V of the GDPR will apply. The overarching purpose of Chapter V is to ensure that the level of protection guaranteed by the GDPR is not undermined when personal data is transferred to "third countries or international organisations".
This text provides a summary of the Guidance on the provisions in Chapter V of the GDPR, as well as links to more detailed information and guidance.
