At the reception, which was open to the press and which took place at the Petersberg, the BfDI was pleased to meet for the first time in person his international colleagues in this round. Last year, the UK Data Protection Authority ICO organised the first meeting of the G7 data protection commissioners, but due to the pandemic only as a video conference. In the focus, delegations will discuss about international data transfers with emphasis on the concept of the so-called free and trustworthy data flow or Data Free Flow with Trust (DFFT).
