The U.S. Department of Justice and the Office of the U.S. National Intelligence Director have recently announced the successful fulfilment of commitments outlined in President Joe Biden’s executive order regarding the #EU–#USA #Data #Privacy #Framework. As part of this development, Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo revealed that the DOJ has designated EU member states, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, as “qualifying states.” This means that citizens from these countries will be able to seek redress through the proposed Data Protection Review Court, while also enjoying enhanced privacy protections provided by the United States. These designations will come into effect once the European Commission finalizes its adequacy decision with the U.S., indicating that the privacy framework between the two entities is deemed satisfactory. Meanwhile, the Office of the U.S. National Intelligence Director has released the policies and procedures that the U.S. intelligence community will adhere to in compliance with the executive order.
Will these recent developments potentially give rise to a Schrems III situation? As we eagerly anticipate the unfolding events, only time will reveal the outcome and whether these measures will have a significant impact on data privacy regulations between the EU and the U.S.  #privacy #dataprotection #gdpr https://lnkd.in/etbsd_zX
