The New EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework: What You Need to Know and Practical Considerations

On July 10, 2023, after years of negotiations between the European Commission and the United States government, the long-awaited, latest data protection adequacy decision for the U.S. was announced and took immediate effect—in the form of the new EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

This means that U.S. companies may now self-certify their adherence to the new Framework’s Principles to lawfully receive EU data subjects’ personal data for processing in the U.S. (or else must use another lawful transfer mechanism set forth in the EU GDPR).
