Country overview
Data protection in Australia
- Regime
- Not an EU or UK regime country. The GDPR can still apply to organisations here that offer goods or services to people in the EU.
- Transfers from the EEA
- No EU adequacy decision: transfers from the EEA need a transfer mechanism such as standard contractual clauses.
