ABSTRACT
The right to be informed of third-country safeguards is an important new right that individual data subjects will be aware. Natural persons should be made aware of risks, rules, safeguards, and rights in relation to the processing of personal data and how to exercise their rights in relation to such processing. Personal data should be processed only if the purpose of the processing reasonably be fulfilled by other means. Authorization by the competent data protection supervisory authority should be obtained when the safeguards are provided for in administrative arrangements that are legally binding. Frequently, organizations may consider the direct issues within organizations in relation to inward-facing and outward-facing data protection issues. Organizations need to consider how they inform individuals as regards potential third-country destinations and organization recipients of their personal data and the associated security precautions. When fulfilling transparency and informatio n on such activities to third parties, data subjects must also be informed of appropriate safeguards being taken.
