EU and US Reach Data Transfer Agreement

The European Union has approved a new data-transfer deal with the United States, ending years of uncertainty and allowing for the free flow of digital information between the two regions. The agreement, known as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, recognizes the U.S. as having sufficient protection for Europeans' personal data, resolving concerns over U.S. intelligence agencies' surveillance. The deal aims to ensure safe data flows and provide legal certainty for companies on both sides of the Atlantic.
