Doesn't the "safe harbor" clause apply to US companies ?
You know, that joke of a clause which says that US companies fit the needs of our data protection law as long as they claim to fit it (and they only have to claim it) ?
Part of the new data protection law that was supposed to be voted in the EU following/during the PRISM scandal was revoking that stupid clause but I'm not sure what happened to that reform.
- Silhouette 13y agoSafe Harbor avoids some of the issues with exporting data from the EEA at all. It doesn't cover exporting the data without notifying the subjects appropriately. It isn't even close to covering exporting sensitive personal data (which is a technical term explicitly including health-related information), for which much stronger rules apply under UK data protection legislation.
