Comment—New EU-US Data Privacy Framework opens for business on Monday amid confidence from US officials

Article summary

MLex: Starting Monday, the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) will be open for business, as US and EU companies that wish to transfer personal data across the Atlantic can begin the process of registering to participate in the replacement for the EU-US Privacy Shield. A senior US official involved in the gruelling process of creating the new transatlantic data bridge discussed plans for the new DPF in detail, saying that this new transatlantic framework reflects greater mutual understanding between the US and Europe on data protection principles, and a convergence among democracies about limits on government access to people’s personal data.
