The EU and United States have agreed to the new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework. It behooves counsel to know:

• This replaces the Privacy Shield Framework that was invalidated by the EU in 2020;

• It will be more stringent and require that U.S. intelligence agencies prove access to EU citizens’ data is necessary and proportionate; and

• EU citizens will have access to the to-be formed Data Protection Review Court, which will provide redress for citizens who believe their rights to be violated.
