International Data Transfers

In a globalized environment, many organizations in Latin America and Europe need to transfer personal data across borders.

We help you design and implement an international data transfer strategy, including the selection of appropriate legal mechanisms (such as Standard Contractual Clauses – SCCs, and Binding Corporate Rules – BCRs), as well as conducting risk assessments in line with the Schrems II framework.

In addition, we work closely with technical professionals to ensure that the technical implementation of these mechanisms is aligned with legal and security requirements.

Assessment of the international data transfer context: countries, jurisdictions, and associated risks.

Connection with Technical Professionals

Our consulting approach goes beyond legal strategy design. We work closely with specialized technical professionals in data security, IT, and data architecture to ensure that required controls are effectively implemented.

This guarantees that the clauses and mechanisms we define are supported by real technical measures (such as encryption, segregation, and monitoring), and that compliance can be clearly demonstrated.
