European Commission adopts its adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework
July 26, 2023
On 10 July, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (the DP Framework). It thereby declared that the United States (the US) ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to US companies that have self-certified their adherence to the DP Framework Principles. More broadly, the DP Framework will significantly reduce the challenges faced by EU organisations transferring personal data to the US, at least for the time being.
