Some contract terms used by cloud provider Amazon Web Services (AWS) are in line with EU rules governing data transfers, an EU privacy watchdog has said.
The National Commission for Data Protection in Luxembourg (CNPD) said that contract terms used by AWS covering the processing of data via its servers around the world “make sufficient contractual commitments to provide a legal framework to its international data flows” to correspond with EU data protection rules.
The CNPD was acting on behalf of the Article 29 Working Party, a committee of national data protection authorities from across the EU. Last year the Working Party reached a similar agreement with Microsoft.
