What Is
What Is the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework?
The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework rests on the European Commission's adequacy decision, Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2023/1795, adopted July 10, 2023. The decision supports covered transfers to the United States through a U.S. organization's certification with the Commerce Department and annual recertification.
The decision remains operative unless withdrawn, amended, or annulled. The General Court upheld it in Latombe v. Commission (T-553/23) on September 3, 2025, and an appeal, C-703/25 P, filed October 31, 2025, is pending; the appeal itself does not suspend adequacy.
