Whilst in many cases it is still possible to transfer personal data with the right documentation, it should be noted that without putting in place documents like an International Data Transfer Agreement or Standard Contractual Clauses, is it not lawful to transfer personal data (except for law enforcement purposes) to the United States, Australia or India along with a whole host of other places like China.
