Legality and safety of data flows to Russia is raising questions in the EU
A statement issued by the EU Data Protection Board about data transfers between EU countries and Russia is raising concern among privacy experts who feel extra care must be taken considering the Ukraine war and because the EU doesn’t have an adequacy agreement with Russia. This is in contrast with the EU’s data sharing relationship with the US, which has had to be renegotiated since its prior Privacy Shield adequacy agreement was struck down. Of particular concern with regards to Russia is its potential access to citizen location data in neighboring EU countries.
