The UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has launched a consultation on its draft international data transfer agreement and guidance for organizations on international transfers. Once finalized, the IDTA will replace the existing EU Standard Contractual Clauses in the UK. The ICO may also provide an Addendum that would potentially provide a practical compliance solution for many companies transferring personal data from the EU and the UK, which would otherwise be required to put in place separate data transfer agreements.
