EU Commission adopts third Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, likely to face CJEU challenge

The European Commission has introduced a new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework as its third attempt to secure an EU‑US data transfer adequacy decision. Privacy‑rights group noyb says it will challenge the decision before the Court of Justice of the EU. The framework is criticized as a copy of the earlier, invalidated Privacy Shield and Safe Harbor arrangements.

Why it matters: The new EU‑US data transfer framework could be invalidated by the CJEU, affecting cross‑border data flows and privacy protections.
