Yesterday (Tuesday) the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) ruled that the current U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Program is no longer a valid method for ensuring adequacy under EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC for international data transfers. This is a significant change in data protection law that removes an established data transfer compliance mechanism that has been in place since 2000 and relied on by more than 4,000 US companies. This ruling brings a period of uncertainty for businesses.
Andrea Glorioso, Counselor Digital Economy and Aymeric Dupont, Counselor for Justice and Home Affairs from the Delegation of the European Union to the U.S. will join Chris Babel, CEO TRUSTe on a webinar this Friday October 9th.
This webinar will:
- Update participants on the latest state of play following the ECJ ruling
- Discuss options for companies seeking to ensure continued compliance for their international data transfers
If you have a question for the panelists, please email it in advance to [email protected].
