European Data Protection Board publishes recommendations on measures to supplement transfer tools for international data transfer
Background: the CJEU‘s “Schrems II” decision
In a remarkable decision dated 16 July 2020 in the “Schrems II” case, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) invalidated the European Commission’s Implementation Decision on the “EU-US Privacy Shield” without a transitional period, thus dealing a harsh blow to transatlantic data transfer.
