EU Court Preserves EU-US Data Privacy Framework

The EU General Court upheld the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, rejecting a French politician’s claim that the US oversight mechanisms are not independent. The ruling allows American companies to transfer and process European citizens’ data, facilitating significant cross-border business. Privacy advocates remain skeptical, citing concerns about the framework’s safeguards and the potential impact of the Trump administration’s actions on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board.
