Webinar: EU-U.S. Data Transfers after Slaughter v. Trump – What Comes Next?

EU-U.S. Data Transfers after Slaughter v. Trump – What Comes Next?

The recent decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Slaughter v. Trump has sparked significant discussion within the privacy community on both sides of the Atlantic. Numerous commentators have raised the question whether the judgment could have implications for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and, more broadly, for the legal basis governing transatlantic data transfers.

While the Data Privacy Framework remains in force, the decision has prompted renewed debate about the independence of U.S. oversight mechanisms, the durability of the current adequacy decision, and the future of international data transfers under the GDPR.

Against this backdrop, organizations are asking important questions:

• What is the legal significance of the Slaughter v. Trump decision?
• Does the judgment have immediate implications for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework?
• Could it influence future proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union?
• What practical steps, if any, should organizations consider today?
• How should privacy professionals assess the short- and long-term outlook for transatlantic data transfers?

These are precisely the questions this EFDPO webinar will address.

Together with leading experts from regulatory authorities, international legal practice, and academia, we will examine the judgment from different legal and practical perspectives, discuss its potential implications for international data transfers, and provide participants with practical guidance on navigating the current legal landscape.

The webinar is aimed at Data Protection Officers, privacy professionals, legal and compliance teams, and all organizations relying on international data transfers between the European Union and the United States.
