US and EU Implement Privacy Shield

Austrian privacy activist Max Schrems campaigned against facebook for privacy violations, including its violations of European privacy laws and alleged transfer of personal data to the US National Security Agency.

The European Union heralded the entry into force of a new trans-Atlantic data transfer tool it promised will restore citizens’ trust when their personal information is shipped over to the US by multinational companies

“The EU-US Privacy Shield is a robust new system to protect the personal data of Europeans and ensure legal certainty for businesses,” EU Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova said in a statement on Tuesday, the first day of the new pact. “It brings stronger data protection standards that are better enforced, safeguards on government access, and easier redress for individuals in case of complaints.”

The EU and US were forced back to the drawing board after the bloc’s top court in October annulled a “safe-harbor” accord dating back to 2000 for failing to offer safeguards to EU citizens when US-based companies such as social media giant Facebook Inc. process personal data on customers, from billing information to the content of messages.

The new deal, clinched in February, seeks to address concerns that American spies had unfettered access to private data on European citizens.
