Demystifying the GDPR's Cross-Border Data Transfer Rules: Application and Compliance

In recent years, states such as California have passed monumental data privacy laws that have brought some of the rights and responsibilities implemented in the European Union (EU) by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) into the fray of US data privacy. Cross-border data transfers, however, are an aspect regulated by the GDPR that has yet to be addressed by state or federal data privacy legislation in the US.
