Adequacy decision
A determination by a jurisdiction (notably the European Commission under the GDPR) that another country provides an essentially equivalent level of data protection, allowing personal data to flow there without additional safeguards. Adequacy decisions can be challenged and withdrawn, which is one reason a shipping decision that relies on one carries a review trigger.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 2 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in AI Governance: Applied Mastery.
How each discipline defines it

A determination by a jurisdiction (notably the European Commission under the GDPR) that another country provides an essentially equivalent level of data protection, allowing personal data to flow there without additional safeguards. Adequacy decisions can be challenged and withdrawn, which is one reason a shipping decision that relies on one carries a review trigger.
A formal finding by the European Commission that a non-EU country's data protection regime provides a level of protection essentially equivalent to the EU's, permitting personal data to flow to that country without additional transfer safeguards. China holds no EU adequacy decision as of this build.
