Which of the following countries will continue to enjoy adequacy status under the GDPR, pending any future European Commission decision to the contrary?
D. Switzerland
Explanation:
A. Greece: Greece is an EU member state and, by default, complies with the GDPR.
B. Norway: Norway is part of the European Economic Area (EEA), which means it implements the GDPR and does not require a separate adequacy decision.
C. Australia: Australia does not currently have an adequacy decision from the European Commission.
D. Switzerland: Switzerland has been granted adequacy status by the European Commission, meaning it is considered to provide an adequate level of data protection in line with GDPR standards.
Its in the textbook: Switzerland is neither an EU nor an EEA member, although Swiss nationals may have the same rights to live and work in EU member states because Switzerland is part of the single market, as well.
EU recognized following countries as having adequate level of data protection:
Andorra
Argentina
Canada (commercial organizations)
Faroe Islands
Guernsey
Israel
Isle of Man
Japan
Jersey
New Zealand
Switzerland
Uruguay
United Kingdom
B. Norway
The effect of such a decision is that personal data can flow from the EU (and Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) to that third country without any further safeguard being necessary. In others words, transfers to the country in question will be assimilated to intra-EU transmissions of data.
