Exceptions: Data transfer without guarantees
But as the saying goes, exceptions prove the rule. There are also exceptions when transferring data to third countries, where the data may be transferred without an appropriate guarantee. According to Article 49 of the GDPR, the following requirements must be met:
Explicit consent, taking into account the risks
Data transfer necessary for contract fulfillment
Transmission for the purpose of fulfilling or concluding an interest in a concluded contract
public interest
assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims
Transmission of data from registers to persons with legitimate interest

Conclusion and Recommendation
If there is a hard Brexit, the burden on companies and jamaica number dataset institutions that transfer data to the United Kingdom or use services will definitely be higher. But this is certainly not the end of business relationships, as there are still some ways to meet data protection standards. In the case of Great Britain, it is also very likely that the third country regulation will only apply for a limited time, as both the EU and the British should be interested in removing any hurdles as quickly as possible.
The most important thing, however, is that you deal with the issue as quickly as possible. First, make sure that you are actually affected. Don't forget to check whether an online service provider is based in the UK, such as a CRM or analytics service provider.
In the second step, check which measures are necessary in order not to jeopardize the legally compliant exchange of data and take precautions that can be implemented quickly in an emergency. This may include separating from British service providers and using providers from the EU. This will eliminate any risk.
Last but not least, if you continue to use services from the UK, provide information about data transfers to third countries. To be on the safe side, do this now.
Even if we don’t hope for it, this is how Brexit can happen!
