What is Privacy Shield?

Privacy Shield is the current agreement for legal transfer of data from the European Union (E.U.) to the United States (U.S.). It is designed to offer stronger personal data protections and insurances of personal data for data subjects in the E.U. When organizations certify under the Privacy Shield Principles, they are benefitting from the European Commission’s adequacy decision for data transfer from the E.U. to the U.S.
