GDPR and engineering teams in South America

1 points by Bootstrapper909 4 years ago | 1 comment

Hi,

I run a US company who controls and processes data of EU citizens.

My legal counselor advised me that my engineering team in South America (Chille, Brazil) cannot access my production database, as GDPR does not allow to export data to these countries (and if they access production database, the data will be streamed to their local machine).

I'm not looking for legal advice - just curious if anyone else has heard the same thing? If so, what do they do about it?

Engineering should not have access to real user data or PII in the first place, generally. US or EU.
