On July 10, 2023, the European Commission adopted an adequacy decision for the new EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“EU-U.S. DPF”), the successor to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, which the Court of Justice of the European Union deemed invalid on July 16, 2020. The U.S. Department of Commerce (“DoC”) is charged with administering and monitoring the EU-U.S. DPF program.
On July 17, 2023, the DoC International Trade Administration launched its EU-U.S. DPF website. Companies are now able to review the key requirements for participating organizations, including how to join the program and how to recertify.
