TechLaw10: Eric Sinrod & Jonathan Armstrong on Data Transfer & Data Protection Framework

April 19, 2024

In this edition of TechLaw10, Jonathan Armstrong talks to Attorney and Professor Eric Sinrod from his home in California. They look at the proposed new Data Protection Framework and its chances of success. Will the new scheme make transferring data from the EU to the US easier? And will the UK adopt a similar scheme?

Jonathan looks at the history of the prior Safe Harbor and Privacy Shield schemes and the challenges Max Schrems brought.

Jonathan examines the likely areas of contention in the new scheme, including the proposed new court and whether it might stand up to a challenge. He also considers likely timeframes and practical tips for businesses.

Eric examines the changes made by the Biden administration and whether they might be meaningful. He also examines the concerns expressed by Schrems and NOYB and whether they are well-founded. What will happen if the new US regime seeks to limit class actions and legal representation?
