Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC EuropeOn July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice declared the EU-US Privacy Shield to be invalid. The Court is of the opinion that the EU-US Privacy Shield offers too few guarantees to data subjects for the protection of their personal data in the US, in particular due to excessive interference by the US government. In concrete terms, this means that all transfers of personal data to the US based on the EU-US Privacy Shield have since become invalid.
Keep reading nevertheless! Your company does not transfer personal data to the US? ! Although the Court only declared the EU-US Privacy Shield to be invalid, it also ruled that from now on a « data transfer impact assessment » must be conducted for any transfer outside the EEA. Thus, the judgment has an impact on any company that transfers personal data outside the EEA.
