"European Commission Adopts Adequacy Decision for Safe EU-US Data Flows"

The European Commission has adopted its adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The decision is that under the new framework, the US will provide adequate protection comparable to that of the European Union for personal data transferred from the EU to US companies. Based on the new adequacy decision, personal data can transfer securely from the EU to US framework participants without the need for additional data protection safeguards. The EU-US Data Privacy Framework introduces new binding safeguards to address all the concerns raised by the European Court of Justice, such as limiting US intelligence services' access to EU data to what is necessary and proportionate, and establishing a Data Protection Review Court (DPRC) to which EU individuals will have access. This article continues to discuss the European Commission adopting its adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
