Summary

Key Points:

The guidance provides the same advice previously published on how to maintain data flows, but has been produced to be more relevant and accessible to smaller organisations.
The sharing of customers, citizens and employees personal data between EU member states and the UK is vital for business supply chains to function and public authorities to deliver effective public services.
At the moment personal data flow is unrestricted because the UK is an EU member state.
The ICO website offers a range of advice and guidance to help organisations prepare for the UK leaving the EU, including checklists and interactive tools.
