The EU Data Protection Board has requested the European Commission to review the impact of the US Supreme Court ruling on the Federal Trade Commission's independence on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which could affect the adequacy decision allowing transatlantic personal data flows. Organisations can currently continue to rely on the framework while alternative mechanisms remain available.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Founders who depend on cross-border data flows from Europe to the US face potential shifts in data transfer permissions. You should evaluate alternative data transfer mechanisms now to avoid disruption when the EU revisits the framework's adequacy.
