According to the GDPR, a transfer of personal data to a third country or an international organisation may take place only if the conditions laid down in Chapter V of the GDPR are complied with by the controller and processor, including for onward transfers of personal data from the third country or an international organisation to another third country or to another international organisation1. A third country is any country outside of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA)2. Therefore, a transfer impact assessment is only required when personal data is transferred to a third country or an international organisation that does not provide an adequate level of data protection, as recognised by the European Commission3. HRYourWay is a German based company, and Germany is a member state of the EU and the EEA. Thus, HRYourWay is not located in a third country, and no transfer impact assessment is needed for transferring personal data to it. The other options are incorrect, as they are not relevant to the question of whether a transfer impact assessment is required or not. References:
