The Data Transfer Addendum is essential for organizations transferring personal data internationally, particularly under Irish jurisdiction and EU data protection framework. It is typically used when an organization needs to transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or between entities within a corporate group. The document supplements existing commercial agreements by incorporating specific data protection requirements mandated by the GDPR and Irish Data Protection Act 2018. It includes detailed provisions on transfer mechanisms, security measures, data subject rights, and compliance procedures. This addendum is particularly crucial following post-Brexit arrangements and evolving international data transfer requirements, ensuring organizations maintain compliant data flows while meeting their obligations under Irish and EU law. The document should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in data protection laws and regulatory guidance.
