PRIVACY MANAGEMENT

The finalization of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework

On July 10, 2023 the European Commission published its final Adequacy Decision for EU-US data transfers. The draft decision reflects the multi-year coordination between the EU and the US to identify and implement a lasting solution to facilitate international data transfers following the Court of Justice of the European Union’s judgment in Schrems II. 

As part of this process, the US has completed its obligations under the Executive Order 14086 on Enhancing Safeguards for United States Signals Intelligence Activities. Recent activities to complete the US. obligations include the US Attorney General declaring the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway to be “qualifying states,” which is required for the redress mechanism to be available to individuals from those jurisdictions, and the office of the Director of National Intelligence confirming that the US Intelligence Community has adopted its policies and procedures as required under the Executive Order. 

The EU’s adequacy decision determines that the US, through the newly created EU-US Data Privacy Framework, provides comparable safeguards to those of the EU and ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to certified organizations in the US.
