Transatlantic Data Transfers

Transatlantic Data Transfers refer to the movement of personal data between the European Union (EU) and the United States (US). Due to differing privacy regulations, particularly the EU's strict General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), companies must ensure that data is adequately protected when transferred across the Atlantic. Legal frameworks like the Privacy Shield (previously in place) and the current EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework address these concerns, aiming to safeguard individuals' privacy rights while allowing businesses to share data for operations and services. Compliance is crucial for businesses operating in both regions to avoid legal issues.
