Moving forward on data free flow with trust
New evidence and analysis of business experiences
This report uses business consultations to investigate private-sector views on privacy
and data protection rules for cross-border data flows. It aims to inform a more comprehensive
understanding of challenges and ways forward for the policy agenda of ‘data free flow
with trust’. While frameworks aimed at generating trust and facilitating data flows
build on commonalities and elements of convergence, businesses identify challenges
to fully operationalise them at the global level. In particular, businesses indicate
the need for coherent principles and rules that are transparent and predictable, provide
a practical balance between certainty and flexibility, and offer solutions that match
business realities. Finally, the report highlights the need for greater international
regulatory co-operation and leveraging the full range of options to uphold trust around
privacy and data protection globally.
