The European Commission on Monday announced it adopted a new agreement with the United States to allow for transatlantic data flows without fear of violating the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework allows for participating companies to transfer data between the two regions without having to put in place additional data protection safeguards, said the European Commission in a press release. The framework was agreed to in principle in 2022 after previous iterations, including the Privacy Shield, were scrapped by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) over U.S. surveillance concerns.
