It was never good… but it's not…

It was never good… but it's not better.

EU citizens' personal data can legally flow out of the EU without strict safeguards to countries that the Commission deems to have adequate data protection measures in place, signed off by an 'adequacy decision'.

While the US has no federal privacy law and its intelligence agencies have few legal barriers to accessing personal data of foreigners, it is estimated that over 90% of EU companies transfer data to and from the US, and the trillions of dollars in bilateral trade make an adequacy decision all the more important.

But the legality is tricky. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) struck down the two previous EU-US data deals. The current DPF has been criticised since it was drawn up.

The lack of independent oversight and redress mechanisms for US intelligence agencies was a key objection to the previous Privacy Shield agreement in the Schrems II decision.

@axbom.com: I’d like to see more expert opinions on how long the EU–US Data Privacy Framework will hold under these circumstances…
