European Commission Adoption of EU–U.S. Privacy
Shield Restores Trust in Transatlantic Data Flows
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today welcomed the adoption, by the
European Commission, of an adequacy decision on the EU–U.S. Privacy
Shield.
“We would like to thank both the European Commission and United
States negotiators for their continued efforts in finding a new
Transatlantic Agreement on commercial data flows. The annulment of
the EU–U.S. Safe Harbor agreement in October of last year created
legal uncertainty and confusion for Europe’s application economy
and the Digital Single Market,” said Michael Bisignano, general
counsel, CA Technologies.
Today’s adoption of the EU–U.S. Privacy Shield is an important
step as Europe continues to build its Digital Single Market and
stimulate its digital economy. Trust in the protection of personal
data when transferred between countries and continents is crucial.
Today’s organisations rely on the secure and rapid movement of data
in order to deliver innovative services to consumers and for
businesses to be competitive on a global scale.
“Since the annulment of the Safe Harbor decision, our customers
have had increased uncertainty around the ability to move data
internationally and, without a replacement, there was a real risk
of a fragmented approach in Europe towards international data
flows,” said Bisignano.
“We support the new Privacy Shield framework and hope to be
among the first organizations to self-certify compliance with the
new program’s rules. We hope both the EU and U.S. will move
swiftly to enable organisations to sign up. CA Technologies remains
committed to strong protections of the data of our employees,
customers and partners. In addition to our reliance on the Privacy
Shield, CA Technologies is one of only a small number of technology
companies that has obtained authorization for Binding Corporate
Rules (BCRs) for data controllers,” he concluded.
