Privacy Shield: View from the United States
In early 2016, a new framework dubbed the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield was developed to replace Safe Harbor as a new data transfer protocol between the EU and the U.S.
Mike Ling
The announcement elicited an initial sigh of relief from executives of the several thousand U.S. companies that had relied upon the now-defunct Safe Harbor. But is it a silver bullet?
Join Pillsbury as we examine the new accord, and understand its wide-reaching implications for businesses transferring information from one jurisdiction to another. In this session, we will explain the agreement and anticipated enforcement activities from the U.S. perspective. We will also provide an EU perspective and deeper dive into alternative compliance models such as BCRs, Model Clauses and other transfer options in the second part of this Webinar series that will be held in May.
Topics to be covered on this webinar include:
- Key features of the Privacy Shield
- Views from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission
- Discussion of what gaps still exist
- Practical advice for those who process data in the United States that involves EU citizens – Part 1
