Officials identify growth and record feedback after one year of implementation.
The Department of Commerce took part in a joint review of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) this month, one year after the framework’s implementation with the European Commission and EU data protection authorities. International leaders gathered in Washington, D.C., to track the progress of the framework in the past year, noting that 2,800 organizations have joined since its launch, the majority of which are small and medium-sized businesses.
“Already, this collaboration has yielded success. The DPF has strengthened the protection of privacy across the Atlantic, including through the creation of a new national security redress mechanism,” U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and EU Commissioner for Justice and Consumers Didier Reynders stated jointly. “In addition, it has facilitated data flows that underpin more than 1 trillion dollars in EU-U.S. trade and investment.”
In addition to the Commerce Department, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Federal Trade Commission, and Department of Transportation are also involved in the privacy framework.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Raimondo as she facilitates privacy cooperation with international leaders.
- For U.S. and allied officials as they continue to implement the privacy framework to enhance international cybersecurity and data.
- For wisdom for members of the president’s administration as they identify ways to optimize communications infrastructure.
