• Part of wider EU scrutiny of data flows to third countries.

"Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) has opened an investigation into fast-fashion giant Shein over its transfer of European user data to China. The probe examines whether Shein violated GDPR by failing to provide adequate safeguards for data sent to a third country. This is part of a broader EU crackdown on data flows to jurisdictions with weaker privacy protections."
