On 2 February 2022, the Secretary of State presented to Parliament the international data transfer agreement (IDTA) and the international data transfer addendum to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for international data transfers (Addendum), along with transitional provisions. This final step followed a consultation conducted by the ICO in 2021. These documents were issued under Section 119A of the Data Protection Act 2018 and came into effect on 21 March 2022 following Parliamentary approval.

Exporters can now use either the IDTA or the Addendum as a transfer mechanism to comply with Article 46 of the UK GDPR for restricted transfers.

The IDTA and Addendum have replaced the previous standard contractual clauses for international transfers. They have been updated in response to the binding judgment of the European Court of Justice in the case commonly known as “Schrems II”.
