Chapter 7 - Unlawful state access to and unlawful state transfer of non-personal data in an international context
This chapter deals with the protection of non-personal data against unlawful government access and its transfer to third countries outside the European Union. The aim is to ensure that cloud service providers may only disclose data to foreign authorities under strict conditions in order to guarantee compliance with European legal and security standards.
International Data Transfers | Data Act Unlocked
Episode 1 explains that the Data Act obliges cloud service providers to prevent unlawful government access to non-personal data stored in the EU and to allow data transfers to third countries only under strict conditions. Data may only be transferred if there is an international agreement or if minimum standards of the rule of law are guaranteed in the third country concerned, whereby affected customers must always be informed in advance. The Data Act thus creates clear guidelines to strengthen the protection of European data against unlawful access from abroad and to ensure legal certainty for cloud providers.
