Guidelines on the Interplay between the application of Article 3 and the provisions on international transfers as per Chapter V of the GDPR

The GDPR does not provide for a legal definition of the notion 'transfer of personal data to a third country or to an international organisation'. Therefore, the EDPB provides these guidelines to clarify the scenarios to which it considers that the requirements of Chapter V should be applied and, to that end, it has identified three cumulative criteria to qualify a processing operation as a transfer: - 1) A controller or a processor ('exporter') is subject to the GDPR for the given processing. -...

Guidelines 07/2022 on certification as a tool for transfers

Guidelines on certification and identifying certification criteria

The GDPR requires in its Article 46 that data exporters shall put in place appropriate safeguards for transfers of personal data to third countries or international organisations. To that end, the GDPR diversifies the appropriate safeguards that may be used by data exporters under Article 46 for framing transfers to third countries by introducing, amongst others, certification as a new transfer mechanism (Articles 42 (2) and 46 (2) (f) GDPR). These guidelines provide guidance as to the applicati...

The concepts of controller, joint controller and processor play a crucial role in the application of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), since they determine who shall be responsible for compliance with different data protection rules, and how data subjects can exercise their rights in practice. The precise meaning of these concepts and the criteria for their correct interpretation must be sufficiently clear and consistent throughout the European Economic Area (EEA). The conc...
