stage In effect

A transfer of personal data outside the EEA requires an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards, or a narrow Article 49 derogation, backed by the Article 83(5)(c) top fine tier. DLA Piper's commentary states no Bulgarian derogations exist and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Articles 44-49 apply directly without modification; no primary text was read.
What it asks of an app
- Rely on an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, or a narrow Article 49 derogation before moving personal data of a person in Bulgaria outside the EEA.
