EU and US Seal Historic Data Sharing Agreement
The European Union has approved a new agreement with the US government that allows for the transfer of personal data between the two regions, resolving years of uncertainty. The agreement restores the ability for businesses to easily transfer European citizens' data to the US and vice versa, without additional privacy safeguards. The new framework incorporates an executive order signed by President Joe Biden, limiting US intelligence agencies' access to European citizens' personal information and establishing a court-like body to address privacy violations. However, civil liberties advocates have criticized the framework as being too similar to the previous agreement, indicating potential court challenges.
