BSA | The Software Alliance Vice President of Global Policy Aaron Cooper discusses how the EU-US Data Privacy Framework will be essential for companies and individuals to ensure that there is clarity about data transfers.
“The decision that was announced today is that it is crucial that that data privacy framework come into force because it’ll give certainty to companies [and] to individuals,” Cooper said in an interview. “What often gets lost in the conversation is that data transfers are used in every sector of the economy on both sides of the Atlantic. And it has become a cornerstone of the way companies expand job opportunities.”
