U.S. Outlines Privacy Safeguards for Post-Schrems II Data Transfers

By Odia Kagan on October 3, 2020

The U.S. government has published a whitepaper that outlines the robust limits and safeguards in the United States pertaining to government access to data in an effort to assist organizations in assessing whether their transfers offer appropriate data protection in accordance with the European Court of Justice’s (ECJ) Schrems II ruling.

 

Key Takeaways

  • Particularly in view of the extensive U.S. surveillance reforms since 2013 … the U.S. legal framework for foreign intelligence collection provides clearer limits, stronger safeguards and more rigorous independent oversight than the equivalent laws of almost all other countries.
  • To address the challenges posed by the Schrems II ruling, the Trump Administration is exploring all options at its disposal and remains committed to working with the European Commission to negotiate a solution that satisfies the ECJ’s requirements while protecting the interests of the United States.
