GDPR and CCPA Start to Bare Teeth as Privacy Protection Goes Global
2020
Multinational groups can rely on EU decisions that certain countries provide 'adequate' data protection, but they can also use other mechanisms, such as standard contractual clauses (SCCs), to ensure that EU principles are applied when data is transferred outside the bloc. Following a complaint by a privacy activist who challenged Facebook Ireland's reliance on SCCs as a legal basis for transferring personal data to Facebook in the US, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on 16 July annulled the EU US adequacy agreement known as the Privacy Shield and placed strict conditions on the use of SCCs. More companies have a chief privacy officer or other privacy leaders who report directly to the chief executive officer or the board of directors, although those companies remain in the minority. The EU's landmark data protection law gives companies chills, makes some privacy advocates sigh in frustration and causes consumers to frown whenever they have to click on a meddlesome cookie consent pop-up.
