Document background
This Data Transfer Agreement is essential for organizations transferring personal data under Belgian jurisdiction, whether within Belgium, across the EU, or internationally. It serves as a crucial compliance tool, addressing requirements under both the Belgian Data Protection Act and the EU GDPR. The agreement is particularly vital when personal data needs to be shared between separate entities, establishing clear protocols for data handling, security measures, and respective responsibilities. It includes specific provisions required by Belgian law, such as mandatory notification requirements to the Belgian Data Protection Authority, while ensuring alignment with broader EU data protection principles. This document should be used whenever there is a systematic transfer of personal data between organizations, whether as part of a service provision, corporate collaboration, or other business arrangements.
