In this short episode of the ITM Podcast, research assistants Malin Fischer, Owen Mc Grath and Nicolas John talk about the planned Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework. The EU Commission and the US government have recently agreed on the basics of such a new data protection framework. With this framework, data transfers from EU countries to the USA should be possible in the future with legal certainty. The previous agreement, the EU-US Privacy Shield, was declared insufficient by the European Court of Justice in a ruling in 2020.
