EU General Court upholds EU-US Data Privacy Framework
03/09/2025 | CJEU
The General Court of the EU Court of Justice has rejected a request by French member of parliament Philippe Latombe to declare the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) invalid. The ruling in Case T-553/23 confirms the European Commission's adequacy decision, which found that the United States provides an adequate level of protection for personal data. This means that companies can continue to use the agreement as a legal basis for transferring personal data to the US. While the judgment can be appealed to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), the General Court's decision provides some stability for thousands of businesses on both sides of the Atlantic that rely on cross-border data flows.
