On 22 May, the Irish Data Protection Authority published it's final decision against Meta regarding their data transfers of EU originated personal data to the US based on EU SCCs. This is a significant decision raising questions for all companies relying on EU SCCs for their data transfers to the US.

On 24th May 2023 we delivered a webinar where our experts dissected the decision and explained exactly what it means for EU-US data transfers but also its implications in the UK.
