Privacy Shield (EU-US Privacy Shield)

The EU-US Privacy Shield is a framework for data protection that was jointly developed by the European Commission and the United States Department of Commerce. It is designed to provide a mechanism for transferring personal data from the European Union to the United States in compliance with EU data protection law.

The Privacy Shield replaces the Safe Harbor framework, which was invalidated by the European Court of Justice in October 2015. The new framework took effect on August 1, 2016.

Under the Privacy Shield, companies must commit to comply with a set of data protection principles, and must provide robust mechanisms for enforcing those principles. They must also provide recourse for individuals who believe their data has been misused.

The Privacy Shield is overseen by an independent watchdog, the U.S. Department of Commerce, which is responsible for ensuring that companies comply with the principles. The European Commission has the authority to suspend or terminate the Privacy Shield if it finds that the United States is not adequately protecting the data of EU citizens.

The Privacy Shield has been criticized by some privacy advocates, who argue that it does not provide adequate protection for personal data. They also argue that the mechanisms for enforcing the principles are not sufficiently robust.
