Overview on Global
Data Protection

4. Privacy Shield – What You Need To Know About Storing EU Data | 4
Overview
Regulate the collection, use, storage, disclosure,
and other processing of “personally identifiable
information” or “PII”
• Name and other “identifiers,” and any other data that can be
linked with the identified or identifiable person or device.
• Employees, consumers, contractors, corporate customer
contacts, supplier contacts, website visitors, business partner
contacts, end users, and other individuals.

Overview
Two approaches to regulation globally:
• United States: Sector-specific (HIPAA/HITECH, GLBA/FCRA,
and the like) and data-specific (SSNs, bank account, credit/debit
card numbers, username/password to online account)
• European Union: Omnibus privacy laws applicable to all personal
data, regardless of sector, category of individual, or type of
personal data; local hurdles on collection and processing +
additional restrictions on cross-border transfers
• EU tends to lead the rest of the non-US world

Background on Schrems
Who is Max Schrems?
He is an Austrian privacy activist who campaigns against Facebook for
privacy violation, including its violations of European privacy laws and
alleged transfer of personal data to the US National Security
Agency (NSA) as part of the NSA's PRISM programme. He has founded
a group called Europe v Facebook and as of February 2015 has initiated
two lawsuits involving Facebook.

Background on Schrems
How did the invalidation process get started?
• On 20 November 2014, Schrems said at a conference convened in
Brussels by the International Association of Privacy Professionals that
his group would go on a head-on collision with Safe Harbour, an E.U.-
U.S. agreement that allows over 3,000 U.S. companies, including
Google, Facebook, and Apple, to repatriate European personal data.
Schrems argues that in practice it does not give the consumer any
protection.[12]

14. Privacy Shield – What You Need To Know About Storing EU Data | 14
Background on Schrems
How did the invalidation process get started?
• In Schrems, the European Court of Justice (Court) invalidated the US-EU
Safe Harbor Privacy Arrangement (“Safe Harbor) on October 6, 2015
• Safe Harbor had served as the EC adequacy finding for the United
States for fifteen years
• The Court specified that Safe Harbor was not adequate because of the
apparent absence of sufficient protections within Safe Harbor against US
government surveillance and corresponding redress for EU citizens (not
“essentially equivalent”)

15. Privacy Shield – What You Need To Know About Storing EU Data | 15
Current Developments
• Initial Article 29 Working Party Opinion on Schrems (Oct 16, 2015):
– Transfers relying solely on Safe Harbor unlawful
– Model contracts and binding corporate rules can be used at present, although under
examination for concerns about government surveillance
– Collective action to be considered if no resolution on “Safe Harbor 2.0” by the end of
January 2016
• Various individual data protection authority opinions (e.g., German data protection
authorities, UK Information Commissioner, and the like).
• EU-US Privacy Shield (Safe Harbor 2.0) announced as agreed upon between the
European Commission and the US Department of Commerce and other
authorities on February 2, 2016 (ahead of WP meeting)
• Other developments (to be discussed after Privacy Shield overview)

Why Was It Designed?
https://www.e-education.psu.edu/cloudGIS/node/91
• The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework was designed by the U.S.
Department of Commerce and European Commission to provide companies
on both sides of the Atlantic with a mechanism to comply with EU data
protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European
Union to the United States in support of transatlantic commerce.

20. Privacy Shield – What You Need To Know About Storing EU Data | 20
Why Was It Designed?
https://www.e-education.psu.edu/cloudGIS/node/91
• The Privacy Shield Framework provides a set of robust and enforceable
protections for the personal data of EU individuals. The Framework provides
transparency regarding how participating companies use personal data,
strong U.S. government oversight, and increased cooperation with EU data
protection authorities (DPAs). The European Commission deemed the
Privacy Shield Framework adequate to enable data transfers under EU law.
Commerce will allow companies time to review the Framework and update
their compliance programs and then, on August 1, will begin accepting
certifications
• On February 29, 2016, the European Commission issued its draft decision
and the US documents for the EU-US Privacy Shield Arrangement.

21. Privacy Shield – What You Need To Know About Storing EU Data | 21

resources to adhere fully to the requirements of the Privacy Shield
– Twenty Two Privacy Shield Principles, along with Arbitration Procedures
– Letters from the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of
Transportation (commercial enforcement authority)
– Letters from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)
(surveillance law and policy), the Department of State (surveillance redress), and
the Department of Justice (criminal law enforcement law and policy)

the Article 29 Working Party of Data Protection Authorities, the European
Parliament, the European Data Protection Supervisor, and (ii) consulting
with the Article 31 Member State Representatives
