Transatlantic Data Flow Chronicles: Unveiling Past and Current Data Diplomacy

The new European Union-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF) agreement gives companies, consumers and practitioners some certainty about data transfer between the EU and the United States following the invalidation of two prior legal frameworks. While the EU-U.S. DPF avoids data localization, inconsistent data-transfer mechanisms and the cessation of certain U.S. business operations in the EU, its success could be short-lived due to future legal challenges. This series explores the agreement’s current status as well as important historical information to keep in mind as the transatlantic data flow saga continues into its third decade.
