Even after the GDPR's entry into force, the U.S. continues
to ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data
transferred from the EU to participating companies in the U.S.
On December 19, 2018, the EU Commission published its report on the second annual review of the
functioning of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. According to the
report, the steps taken by the U.S. authorities to implement the
recommendations made by the Commission in last year's report
have improved the functioning of the framework.
The U.S. therefore continues to provide an adequate level of
protection for personal data transferred under the Privacy Shield
from the EU to participating companies in the U.S. On the whole,
the EU Commission considers the Privacy Shield framework a
success.
