Undertakings for Collective Investments ("UCIs") process personal data about investors who are either natural persons or legal persons represented by natural persons. Most of the time, processing operations by UCIs based in Luxembourg include transfers of personal data from Luxembourg to countries outside of the EEA. These transfers are governed by the GDPR and impacted by the so-called "Schrems II" ruling of 16 July 2020 from the Court of Justice of the European Union in case C-311/18.
