Illicit international transfer of personal data, international cooperation and supervising authorities

Abstract

The protection of the right to data protection is a must today, an unmissable State performance. The international transfer of personal data has been and remains, one of the ways in which the State coordination seems necessary. States have a common interest in preventing the creation of places where the treatment of personal data can easily be done outside of legal limits.

Without ignoring regulatory developments have occurred in recent years and the diversity of systems of data protection and privacy or, in some cases, the lack thereof, has become an urgent task in the development of guidelines or international standards and the possible establishment of a supranational authority guarantees that facilitate data flows in a globalized world, guaranteeing thus the «free movement of personal data» and the protection of the person entitled to the protection of data against unlawful processing international their personal data.
