EU-U.S. Data Transfer
The EU-U.S. Data Transfer refers to the legal framework that allows personal data to be shared between the European Union and the United States. This transfer is essential for businesses and organizations that operate across the Atlantic, enabling them to process and manage data efficiently while complying with privacy regulations.
In recent years, the transfer has faced challenges due to concerns about data privacy and protection. The Schrems II ruling by the European Court of Justice in 2020 invalidated the previous Privacy Shield agreement, prompting the need for new solutions to ensure that data transferred to the U.S. meets EU standards for privacy and security.
