The EU-US Data Privacy Framework introduces new binding safeguards to address all the concerns raised by the European Court of Justice.

US Intelligence services still won’t be allowed to access EU data, and there will be established a Data Protection Review Court accessible to all Europeans.

The framework effectively introduced improved mechanisms for protecting personal data, and the EU believes the United States will comply with a new detailed set of privacy obligations – for instance, the requirement to delete personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

You might wonder what does it mean really? Well to put it simple, right now companies like Facebook, Google, and Apple to store data about European users on their American servers.

This might seem odd for many of you, but please remember that in 2020 data transfer between Europe and the United States was deemed illegal.

Why did it change and what exactly happened? We don’t know but lets hope that it is all for the best.
