EU-U.S. Privacy Framework

The EU-U.S. Privacy Framework is an agreement that allows the United States to handle personal data from European Union citizens securely and responsibly. It sets guidelines to protect individuals' privacy rights while enabling companies to transfer data across the Atlantic for business purposes. The framework includes commitments on data protection, transparency, and accountability, ensuring that U.S. companies follow standards similar to those in the EU. It aims to build trust, facilitate international data flows, and balance privacy rights with business needs, with oversight mechanisms to address concerns or violations.
