THE KEY POINTS RELATING TO C.I. ARE AS FOLLOWS

EU Adequacy:

• only 9 territories comply so far, and
• it can take over three (3) years to gain compliance:

USA DOES NOT COMPLY.

Third Countries:

• The EU States cannot cooperate with third-countries that do not comply with Adequacy.

The above helps in understanding why Emma Martins is banging the drum so hard

• both Jersey & Guernsey are scheduled for Adequacy compliance review (of the regulator and via – public bodies, commercial entities & other organisations, includes schools, charities, churches, etc.) before 2020.

A crucial point that comes from all the GDPR reading, and the link below, is that cyber/data security is no different from ‘real life’, i.e. Would you …

• let your children play with a complete stranger (adult)?
• give your house keys to a complete stranger?
• give your wallet, with pin numbers, to a complete stranger?
•  tell your most intimate life details to a stranger and/or reporter?

Yet people do all these things online every day!!!!

Therefore GDPR protects us from ourselves, because we have become extremely stupid.
