The European Commission says it had adopted decisions allowing Europeans’ data to keep flowing to Britain, satisfied that protections had so far not been affected by Brexit.
The commission vice president in charge of transparency, Vera Jourova, says London’s legal regime of protecting personal data is as it was.
She says they have significant safeguards and if anything changes on the UK side, they will intervene.
The decisions will notably ensure that British-based companies reliant on EU citizens’ data can continue to operate.
A post-Brexit transition period leaving rules on data flows unchanged was to run out at the end of June.
