iThe European Commission has finally made the draft text of the EU-US Privacy Shield program available (scroll down in the press release for further links). The Privacy Shield program, which was agreed to in principle by US and EU negotiators nearly four weeks ago, will replace the Safe Harbor program that was struck down last autumn by the Court of Justice of the EU. However, Privacy Shield is not quite a done deal. The Commission is awaiting comments on the Privacy Shield program from the Article 29 Working Party, an advisory group that consists of members of the national data protection authorities.
