EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework

The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework is an agreement designed to protect personal data exchanged between the European Union and the United States. It ensures that when European citizens’ data is sent to the U.S. for processing, it receives strong privacy protections similar to those in Europe. This framework seeks to provide clarity for businesses on data handling while boosting trust between the two regions. It addresses concerns about surveillance and data security, allowing for smoother transatlantic trade while respecting individuals' privacy rights.
