EU Commission announces the approval of the UK’s data adequacy

The EU Commission announced last week that adequacy decisions for the UK have been approved.

This means the EU has determined the UK’s data protection laws to be robust enough to ensure data can safely flow to the UK from the EU (and EEA). Businesses can continue to receive data from the EU without having to make any changes to their data protection practices.
