India to EU compliance · IT services, SaaS, BPO and global capability centres
Data transfers from the EU to India
How can an Indian company lawfully receive personal data from the EU?
India has no EU adequacy decision. Indian IT, BPO and SaaS suppliers normally need Standard Contractual Clauses, a transfer impact assessment and documented safeguards before EU personal data is transferred.
What an Indian company should prepare
- Choose the Standard Contractual Clauses module that matches the actual controller and processor roles.
- Document Indian government access law and the supplementary technical safeguards.
- Record the transfer, recipient country and sub-processors in the required GDPR documents.
