Explanation

Under major privacy frameworks such as GDPR, one of the primary legal bases permitting cross-border data transfer is that the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, or for pre-contractual steps taken at the data subject's request. This represents implicit consent tied directly to the subject's own contractual relationship - a broad and commonly applicable basis. Public interest (B) is a narrower, harder-to-invoke basis. The limited number of data subjects (C) is not a recognized legal basis for transfer. Legitimate interest overriding subject rights (D) is a basis that requires a balancing test and is more complex and contentious.
