BSA Welcomes Progress in EU-US Data Privacy Framework
Dods EU
BSA | The Software Alliance welcomes the European Commission’s publication of its first review report of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and is pleased to see it confirming that the US authorities have successfully put in place all the necessary elements required to support the framework’s data protection standards, ensuring continuity and seamless data transfers across the Atlantic.
The report specifically highlights these measures, including the implementation of critical safeguards to ensure that national security authorities’ access to personal data is limited to what is strictly necessary and proportionate. BSA believes this step marks a crucial milestone in building trust and transparency in transatlantic data flows.
"We’re delighted to see that the US has delivered on its commitment to create a solid foundation for the DPF," Aaron Cooper, Senior Vice President, Global Policy at BSA said. "The establishment of an independent redress mechanism adds another layer of accountability, giving individuals the confidence that their privacy rights will be protected."
