2. “EU-US Privacy Framework” means means the legal mechanism adopted by the European Commission on July 10, 2023, that enables the transfer of personal data from the European Union to certified companies in the United States, ensuring an adequate level of protection in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). U.S. companies participating in the framework must self-certify their adherence to data protection principles concerning data security, transparency, and individual rights, and are subject to enforcement by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other oversight mechanisms provided by the framework.
