About this guide:

In early 2016, the EU Commission and the United States agreed on a new framework for transatlantic data flows.

Known as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, this new framework put stronger obligations on American companies to protect the personal data of EU citizens, and aimed to reflect the requirements set out by the European Court of Justice after it declared the previous Safe Harbor agreement invalid.

Even while the Safe Harbor agreement has been made invalid, the exact future of the Privacy Shield framework remains unclear because the EU’s data protection authority, the Working Party “ does not believe the agreement provides sufficient protections for EU citizens’ data or safeguards against U.S. intelligence bulk data collection practices.”
