Evaluating transatlantic data streams

Press Report

Last summer, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) annulled the transatlantic data protection agreement of 2016, known as the Privacy Shield, while at the same time confirming the effectiveness of standard contractual clauses. This has led to an urgent need for companies to evaluate their data transfers. Transatlantic cooperation on a legally sound basis has thus become a task of even greater complexity. As a translation management system provider, Across Systems GmbH offers a secure solution for your translation management – with hosting in Germany.

With the Privacy Shield overturned, companies will need to negotiate individual standard contractual clauses with transatlantic contractual partners. This also includes any support arrangements, as these constitute processing activities that are relevant under data protection law and that must be authorized through the strict requirements of standard contractual clauses.

Transfer of data to the United States in a manner that is in compliance with the law has thus become significantly more elaborate and entails many complicated uncertainties.

After careful analysis of the data transfers to be made, European companies are now advised to keep such transfers within the EU to ensure continued transparency and security.
