The European Commission has issued a new adequacy decision for the data protection framework between the EU and the US.
This decision officially establishes that the US provides an adequate level of protection for personal data that is comparable to that of the EU. It's like a big sign has been put up saying, "It is safe to send data!"
For online shop operators in the EU, this is good news. They can now more easily use US-hosted services from companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook, and others in the US.
