Logging duty
Article 11 lets a controller transfer personal data to a foreign State where the Autorité has found the recipient State's protection sufficient, or by decision of the Autorité where the transfer and the recipient's processing guarantee sufficient protection. The finding and the decision are the Autorité's own acts; the article requires the controller to keep no log, register or record and names no review.

What this law does
Article 11 lets a controller transfer personal data to a foreign State only where the Autorité de Protection des Données à Caractère Personnel has found that the destination State ensures a sufficient level of protection for persons, whether because of its own internal legislation or commitments made at the international level, and that those measures are actually applied, or where the Autorité has decided that the transfer and the recipient's processing of the data guarantee a sufficient level of protection for privacy and for persons' fundamental freedoms and rights, including because of contractual clauses or internal rules the recipient is subject to.
