The EU-US Safe Harbor that governed the flow of data between the US and European Commission countries is dead, and there's no formal framework text to replace it yet. The result is a lot of legal uncertainty for many organizations when it comes to transatlantic transfers of data. It may be weeks or months before the dust settles. What do enterprises need to know now?
First, some background. On October 6, 2015, the European Court of Justice invalidated the EU-US Safe Harbor framework in the Maximilian Schrems v Data Protection Commissioner case. A couple of weeks later, the Article 29 Working Party issued a statement about the practical effects of the ruling. The group urged businesses to proceed very carefully. Then on February 2, 2016, the European Commission (EU) announced it and the US had agreed on a new framework for transatlantic data flows called the EU-US Privacy Shield, but because no text is yet available, the framework cannot be interpreted.
