EU Commission issues draft adequacy decision for US data transfers, criticized by noyb

The European Commission announced a new adequacy decision for US data transfers, replacing the invalidated Privacy Shield. The draft decision is under review by the European Data Protection Board and Member States, and may be challenged in courts. noyb argues the underlying US Executive Order 14086 does not meet CJEU requirements.

Why it matters: The draft EU adequacy decision could enable continued EU‑US data flows but faces legal challenges over US surveillance practices.
