Question: How does the Data Protection Act address the transfer of personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA)?

Answer: The Data Protection Act restricts the transfer of personal data to countries without adequate data protection laws. Additional safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, may be required for such transfers.

Example:

A UK-based company transferring customer data to a non-EEA country must ensure the destination country offers sufficient data protection.
