The EU-US Data Privacy Framework: what future for transatlantic data transfers?
On July 10, 2023, the European Commission definitively adopted the adequacy decision on the Data Privacy Framework (DPF). The Commission found that the safeguards provided by the new US Executive Order 14086 and the following EU-US agreement on the Data Privacy Framework offer an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the European Union to the US. It was about time the new framework came into force. Since the invalidation of the Privacy Shield on July 16, 2020, transatlantic data transfers have been mostly based on standard contractual clauses, posing increasingly insurmountable difficulties. Despite the achievement of this milestone, multiple questions and uncertainties remain open circa the legal and technical implementation of the agreement and a third potential invalidation coming from the EU Court of Justice.
This year’s conference will focus on the new transatlantic data-flow agreement, the legal and technical challenges of its implementation and the global perspectives of current trends in data transfers and data localization.
