International Data Transfers
The clause governing transfers of personal data outside the origin jurisdiction and the lawful mechanism relied on.
What the clause requires
Transfers of personal data outside the origin jurisdiction must rely on a lawful transfer mechanism (for example standard contractual clauses).
Why a GDPR DPA needs it
Chapter V of the GDPR restricts international transfers to lawful mechanisms such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses. Silence here can make cross-border processing unlawful.
Risk if it is missing
Personal data may be transferred abroad with no lawful basis, breaching transfer rules.
