Cross-border data transfers are critical in today’s global business environment. Companies, NRIs, and U.S. clients handling personal or sensitive data must ensure compliance with international and local data privacy laws, including GDPR, CCPA, and Indian IT/Data Protection regulations. Improper handling can lead to regulatory fines or reputational risk.

At Your Legal Assistant, we provide offshore support to review and assess your data transfer practices. Our India-based team of trained paralegals and foreign-qualified legal professionals prepares compliance documentation, data mapping, and risk assessments to help you stay informed and organized for legal review.

How We Help You with Data Transfer Assessments

Our process is structured to support compliance management without offering legal opinions:

1. Understanding Your Data Flows: We start by reviewing the types of data collected, processed, or shared across borders, identifying which categories are sensitive or personal under relevant laws.

2. Data Mapping & Documentation: We document your data flows, storage locations, recipients, and transfer mechanisms, creating a clear visual and textual record for internal use and attorney review.

3. Risk Assessment & Compliance Checklist Preparation: Our team prepares a detailed checklist highlighting potential regulatory gaps, contractual requirements (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses), and any necessary due diligence.

4. Drafting Policies and Templates: We organize templates for data transfer agreements, privacy notices, and internal compliance processes that align with cross-border regulatory expectations.

5. Final Review & Delivery: You receive a comprehensive data transfer assessment package, ready for submission to your legal counsel or for internal compliance tracking.

(Note: Our services are limited to offshore documentation and administrative support. No legal advice or official compliance certification is provided. Review and approval by a licensed attorney or data protection officer is recommended.)
