    FRAMEWORK

    July 2023

    Today, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision on


    the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework entering into force with
    immediate effect.

    Key principles
    • Based on the adequacy decision, personal data will be able to flow
    freely and safely between the EU and participating US companies

    • A new set of rules and binding safeguards to limit access to data by US


    intelligence authorities to what is necessary and proportionate to protect
    national security; US intelligence agencies will adopt procedures to ensure
    effective oversight of new privacy and civil liberties standards

    • A new two-tier redress system to investigate and resolve complaints of Europeans


    on access of data by US Intelligence authorities, which includes a Data Protection
    Review Court

    • Strong obligations for companies processing data transferred from the EU, which
    includes the requirement to self-certify that they adhere to the standards through the US
    Department of Commerce

    • Specific monitoring and review mechanisms

    Justice
    and Consumers
    Benefits of the framework
    • Adequate protection of Europeans’ data transferred to the US,
    addressing the requirements of the European Court of Justice
