EU-U.S. data transfers: What's in store for 2025? ???
For years, transatlantic data transfers have faced scrutiny on both sides of the ocean. The latest and current framework in place, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), is no exception and is likely to collapse with a new administration in the White House:
"I can hardly imagine that a Biden Executive Order that was forced on the US by the EU and that regulates US espionage abroad could survive Trump's 'America First' logic. The problem is, that not just US Big Tech, but especially normal EU businesses all rely on this system of unstable executive orders to argue that using US cloud systems is legal in the EU." - Max Schrems , privacy lawyer and chairman of noyb.eu
The end of the DPF would have consequences for both european companies, which would face immediate regulatory uncertainty, as GDPR-compliant data transfers to the U.S. will once again become legally questionable as well as their U.S. counterparts who would also be significantly impacted and face heightened legal risks, including potential fines and growing compliance burdens from European regulators.
For our Chief Privacy Officer, organizations must start considering actions as soon as possible:
“The time to act is now. This means legal measures, contract updates, and compliance efforts, of course, but more importantly, it requires transitioning to technical solutions that either reinforce sovereignty or simply have the power to limit the transfer of data to the U.S. Server-side implementation, for example, offers a concrete way to regain control over the data being shared with third parties.” - Thomas Adhumeau , Chief Privacy Officer at Didomi
