The European Commission's new adequacy decision enables international data transfers between Europe and companies or organizations established in the United States, with certain conditions. This changes the relationship between the entities responsible for personal data in the European Union and the service providers that process them, when they are based in the United States. For this reason, it is crucial to know and comply with the new guidelines, to adjust data processing if you have these types of international suppliers.
