ADDITIONAL MEASURES TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE LEVEL OF PROTECTION IN CASE OF TRANSFER OF DATA TO COUNTRIES WITHOUT AN ADEQUACY DECISION BY THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION

 

1.Technical Measures:

 

a.For those services that do not require access to readable personal data (e.g. data storage service for back-ups), proceed to the encryption or pseudo-anonymization of personal data before transfer to the third country. The key for the decryption of the information will be stored by the Data Exporter.

 

b.Proceed to the encryption or pseudo-anonymization of the personal data, prior to its transfer to the third country. The key for the decryption of the information will be stored by the Data Importer, ensuring the adoption of technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access.

 

2.Organizational Measures

 

a.Update the Exporter’s register of international transfers in order to identify all cross-border data flows, reviewing the appropriate safeguards adopted in each case.

 

b.Minimize the volume of personal data transferred outside the EEA or transfer only the data necessary to carry out the service.

 

c.Request from the Importer transparency reports or summaries regarding governmental requests for access to data and the type of response provided, to the extent that publication is permitted by local law. In the event that the supplier is unable to provide the detailed information, it should use best efforts to share statistical or aggregated information.

 

d.Conduct regular compliance checks and audits to demonstrate proper compliance with the principles of data minimization and proportionality in the context of international data transfers.

 

e.Properly document the prior analysis of each international transfer of personal data taking into consideration among others: definition of local regulations that allow local authorities to access the personal data transferred; definition of the type of data and categories of data subjects concerned; analysis of the questionnaire sent to the Importer prior to the transfer and the proposal of the measures provided by the Importer to protect personal data imported from the EEA from disproportionate access by local authorities.

 

3.Contractual measures:

 

a.Question, whenever possible, the scope and justification of any request or requirement for information from local authorities that could compromise the confidentiality of imported personal data, requesting the suspension of access until the resolution of their objection.

 

b.To invoke clause 5 of the Standard Contractual Clauses (2010/87/EU) or the analogous clause in the BCRs before the exporter of personal data, informing about the impossibility of duly complying with its obligations, providing all the information allowed under local regulations.

 

c.Depending on the circumstances, make the transfer conditional on the adoption of appropriate technical measures, collaborating with the Exporter of the processing of personal data in the design and implementation of such measures.

 

d.The Importer’s commitment not to intentionally create backdoors or similar architecture in order to facilitate access to imported personal data by the authorities; not to intentionally create or modify its business processes in order to facilitate access to imported personal data by the authorities; and to inform about the obligations imposed by local regulations to create backdoors or facilitate access to imported personal data or to provide the key for its decryption.

  

e.Strengthen the Exporter’s auditing power, in order to verify whether the personal data under its responsibility could have been accessed by public authorities.

 

f.Incorporate the obligation of the importer to actively monitor any regulatory development that may determine the impossibility of providing the level of protection essentially equivalent to the European level and to invoke, within 48 hours, clause 5 of the Standard Contractual Clauses (2010/87/EU) or the analogous clause in the BCRs before the exporter of personal data, informing about the impossibility of duly complying with its obligations, as a consequence of such regulatory change.

 

g.Obligation to assist the data subject in exercising his or her rights in the local jurisdiction through ad hoc redress mechanisms and legal advice.

 

h.In any case, provisions allowing for the suspension or termination of transfers at the request of the exporter with the assumption by the importer of the damages caused to the exporter as a consequence of such suspension.
