CNPD orders Statistics Portugal to stop census data transfers to US

Portugal's National Data Protection Commission ordered Statistics Portugal to stop sending census data to the U.S. The CNPD made its decision after it discovered Statistics Portugal had used U.S.-based company Cloudflare to assist with the census survey. As this issue was addressed in the Court of Justice of the European Union's "Schrems II" ruling, the agency told Statistics Portugal to suspend all data transfers to the U.S. or other third countries without adequate protections in place within 12 hours.
