Hello there,

The prospect of Brexit has been on our minds for a while now! Luckily, we've had a bit of time to prepare.

The two main problems that needed to be resolved were data transfer and client contracts. Transferring data between PathMotion entities (and therefore potentially out with the EU) was an easy solve really. The more difficult—at least in terms of logistics—is updating client contracts with standard model clauses to legally allow data transfer out of the EU.

We have quite a few clients now, the more recent ones don't require many changes (if any), however older clients that are located in the UK (pre-Brexit AND pre-GDPR signing) most likely do. Everything is on a case-by-case basis.

Due to the proximity of the last Brexit deadline (October 2019), all pieces have essentially fallen into place for us at this point!

Maybe not the most fun discussion on our platform, but thank you for asking, I hope it's useful!
