INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF CUSTOMER-PROSPECT FILES

Since 1995, the European Union has done everything to facilitate the circulation of personal data on its territory while ensuring respect for the rights of its citizens. Indeed, Directive 95/46/EC states in this regard that "in order to eliminate obstacles to the circulation of personal data, the level of protection of the rights and freedoms of individuals with regard to the processing of such data must be equivalent in all Member States".
This is the very purpose of this standard. Since then, all member states, as well as states party to the European Economic Area (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein), can transfer personal data between themselves. netherlands whatsapp data
Thus, the transposition of this standard for the member states (or the accession for the states party to the EEA), is the sine qua non condition for carrying out an international transfer of personal data.
However, this data also transits to states outside the European Union and not party to the EEA.Indeed, more and more data is being exported to third countries. This is explained, in particular, by the increasing outsourcing of certain services (such as customer hotlines for example) to states where labor is less expensive. The increasingly frequent use of foreign servers (cloud computing) also explains the export of data outside the European Union.
It is therefore necessary to establish a sufficient protection framework for these international transfers of customer-prospect files...
