Seven months following the CJEU’s decision (C-311/18) to abolish Privacy Shield as a safe harbor for the transfer of personal data by EU data exporters to U.S. recipients, businesses on both sides of the Atlantic are still searching for reliable guidance as to how to fill this void.  The complexity of the situation has been compounded by the Court’s decision to preserve Standard Contract Clauses as a tool for data exports to third countries (and by extension, individual derogations and additional transfer methods authorized in Art 46 GDPR) while at the same time imposing a variety of additional requirements for their continued use. Indeed, individual data exporters are now frequently made to determine on their own whether their counterparts in the U.S. offer an adequate level of protection for the personal information of their EU customers and employees.

The international panel of experts presenting this webinar will enable affected businesses to make better decisions in their efforts to comply with EU data export regulations.  They will analyze the concerns about U.S. surveillance practices raised by EU authorities and showcase the analytical framework for such individual adequacy decisions put forth by the European Data Protection Board, the EU’s principal privacy law regulator.  In addition, the panel will present the revised EU Standard Contract Clauses and advanced technical solutions in the area of encryption and anonymization that can help satisfy the added requirements imposed by the EU’s highest court.
