- Twenty-four EU member states voted in favor of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, indicating they believe it offers an adequate level of protection of personal data. Three unnamed member states abstained from voting. The population represented by the 24 member states is over 424 million.
- Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Office of the U.S. Director of National Intelligence announced the completion of commitments under President Joe Biden's executive order concerning the framework. According to Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, the DOJ designated EU member states along with Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway as "qualifying states" whose citizens are able to file for redress through the proposed Data Protection Review Court while obtaining enhanced U.S. privacy protections. The designations take effect upon finalization of the European Commission's adequacy decision with the U.S.
- The ODNI released the policies and procedures the U.S. intelligence community will follow as part of the executive order.
