EU-US Data Privacy Framework – Guidance and Resources

Last Updated: July 2023

The European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework 10 July, ensuring personal data will flow freely and safely from the European Economic Area to the U.S. The decision follows the completion of commitments under President Joe Biden's October 2022 Executive Order.

This page will stay updated with the latest guidance documents and resources covering what these new rules say, how they work and what comes next as the framework takes effect. The IAPP additionally hosts an International Data Transfers topic page in the Resource Center.
