“The USA does not offer adequate protection for personal data of EU citizens. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has declared the “Privacy Shield” agreement, which until now has allowed the transfer of data to the USA, invalid. Companies are now only allowed to send personal data of Europeans to countries outside the EU if the level of data protection there is “equivalent in substance” compared to Europe. If they cannot guarantee this, they must stop the transfer…”
