Highlights from the Past Week

The Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF), which has recently been adopted by the European Commission, has been published in the official journal of the European Union. The exchange of data with the USA is thus legally secure – for now. However, legal action is already being taken against the TADPF, as reported by Euractiv.
