Personal data transfers – between interests and rights

Summary/Abstract: Protecting personal data has become an international necessity considering the technological development, the integration of global markets and the accelerating process of globalisation. Deriving from the fundamental right to respect for private and family life, the protection of personal data has become a priority for states, regional and international organizations, regardless their general competencies and goals. Today's regulatory framework in this field represents, thus, the synthesis result of over 50 years of efforts at the international level to ensure the protection of the rights of data subjects and has two fundamental components in mind: the protection of personal data and their free movement. In this context, the most challenging area is represented by the international transfers, considering that they refer to the circulation of data from one protection system to another, which must demonstrate adequate protection standards. In this respect, the article herein aims to carry out both an analysis of the steps taken in order to build today’s framework in terms of transfers and a review of how they are currently carried out with reference to the need to ensure the balance between the rights of individuals and interests operators, authorized persons and states.
