German DPA: 'legal ambiguity' remains over EU-US data transfer deal

28/10/2022 | German DPA

In Germany, the Baden-Württemberg State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (LfDI Baden-Württemberg) Stefan Brink said that there remains "legal ambiguity" following US President Joe Biden's executive order to reestablish the  EU-US Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework. Brink said the ambiguities include questions of the ability of the US to implement requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by executive order, organisational compliance with an executive order and how the order interplays with other US laws, such as the Cloud Act.
