Third country is defined within the terms of the EEA Agreement and is defined as any country (or territory) outside of the EEA. ‘Third country’ is specifically defined under the UK GDPR as a country or territory outside the UK.
A third country will require that additional safeguards in place before personal data can be transferred to it, unless it has been recognised as having adequate data protection regulation in place.
