Country overview
Data protection in Canada
- 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
- EU adequacy decision, commercial organisations only: transfers from the EEA need no further transfer mechanism within that scope.
