UK-US Data Bridge starts on 12 October but with reservations and limited scope

The UK-US Data Bridge was announced by the UK’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) on 21 September and is due to enter into force on 12 October. If companies meet certain conditions, they will be able to transfer personal data to the US without using legal safeguards, such as Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). This UK-US instrument follows the recently adopted EU-US version.
