Lewisham Council’s head of information and communications technology, Neil Iles, has written to educators within the borough to explain the dangers of using US-based cloud services to store data about students. The ICO points out that it is not law yet (to avoid US cloud use), so there is no need to rush into other services or panic buy new subscriptions.
The warning comes after a ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union which declared the Safe Harbor Laws, used to authorize personal data transfers to the US, as invalid.
