In general
- The free flow of data between the EU and third countries is crucial for European game developer studios.
- The EDPB should focus on security measures instead of regional data access limitations.
- The EDPB Recommendation document should take a more risk-based approach
- European SMEs rarely have sufficient resources to case-by-case map and analyse laws and practices undermining their users’ privacy globally.
- In order to bring legal certainty on international data transfers, EDPB must also publish country-specific recommendations.
- The Recommendations should provide solutions that would qualify as supplementary measures for the use of central systems and services in global organisations.
- The Recommendations should define a grace period, aligned with the one offered for Standard Contractual Clauses.
