What is required?
‘’adequate level of protection’’ ‘’essentially equivalent’’ (C-362/14 Schrems, para.

The adequacy standard does not require a point-to-point replication of EU rules
Who determines the adequacy?
The European Commission
o But recall Week 2: national supervisory authorities have the competence to
examine the claim of a person concerning the protection of their personal
data which has been transferred to a third country that has been deemed by
the Commission as ensuring an adequate level of protection, where that
person contends that the law and practices in force in the third country do
not ensure an adequate level of protection (C-362/14 Schrems, para. 63, 65,
66)
