However.
1. That has not yet been finalized and ratified.
2. It's only based on an presidential excecutive order, so it may become moot as soon as an insane president gets elected, as is tradition every 4-8 years in the US. So it's a very unstable ground to build a buissiness on.
3. Most GDPR experts I've talked think that the new agreement it will almost certainly get torn up the moment it gets challenged in the EU courts.
4. NOYB (The pro-privacy organization whose actions lead to the 2020 ruling) have already stated that they intend to challenge this new agreement.
So we might get a new agreement, but it will immediately get challenged in courts and probably be struck down within a few year and even if it doesn't, it's one that can be unilaterally revoked with zero warning by whatever madman happens to get elected to president.
So trying to minimize how much personal data you transfer to the US will still be a jolly good idea for the foreseeable future, at least until the US begin to respect basic human rights.
- granzymes 4y agoIf it gets struck down, the EU and the US will just sign another agreement. That's not a hypothetical: we're already on v3. There's too much trade at risk for both economic zones if it is impossible to transfer data between continents. Cynically, it takes the EU courts a few years to strike down every agreement. The EU and US governments can keep this game going indefinitely.
- chopin 4y agoThese agreements are unconstitutional. I surely hope that these do not go on indefinitely.
