As negotiations to leave the EU have not begun, it would be inappropriate to speculate in any detail as to what arrangements we will seek to put in place.

Our objective is to ensure continued data flows between the EU and countries outside the EEA once the UK leaves the EU. In doing so we will be considering all the available options that will provide legal certainty for businesses and citizens alike.
