Officials from the EU and US are nearing a solution in long-running negotiations over transatlantic data sharing.<\/p>\n

Previous legal arrangements for sharing data between the two jurisdictions, the so-called Privacy Shield, were struck down<\/a> by the EU Court of Justice in what became known as the Schrems II ruling in 2020.<\/p>\n

Although it had been commonly held that standard contractual clauses (SCCs) may offer a way to continue to share data legally, that was also in doubt<\/a>. Earlier this month, the Austrian data protection authority ruled that those arrangements were insufficient for data sharing<\/a>.<\/p>\n
