What Organizations Need to Know Now<\/h2>\n<p><br \/>The EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) is currently the most important legal mechanism for transferring personal data between the European Union and the United States. Thousands of European organizations rely on it when using cloud services such as Microsoft 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Google Workspace, and Amazon Web Services (AWS).<\/p>\n<p>However, a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling (Trump v. Slaughter) has once again raised concerns about the long-term stability of the framework. Privacy advocacy organizations are already discussing the possibility of a new \u201cSchrems III\u201d case that\u2014similar to Safe Harbor and Privacy Shield before it\u2014could challenge the current adequacy decision.<\/p>\n<p>There is currently no immediate need for action. Nevertheless, the ruling clearly demonstrates how dependent international data transfers remain on political and legal developments.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, one question is becoming increasingly important for organizations:<\/p>\n<p>How can sensitive data be protected permanently, regardless of which privacy agreements may apply in the future?<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-675e23a elementor-widget elementor-widget-richText\" data-id=\"675e23a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"richText.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n        <style>\n            .customBulletList ol {\n                list-style-type: decimal;\n                padding-left: 30px;\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ol li {\n                padding-left: 5px;\n                margin-bottom: 16px;\n\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ul {\n                list-style: none;\n                padding-left: 0;\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ul li {\n                display: flex;\n                align-items: start;\n                gap: 30px;\n                margin-bottom: 16px;\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ul li .listIcon {\n                width: 24px;\n                height: 24px;\n\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ul li svg {\n                width: 24px !important;\n                fill: #00B4B4;\n                margin-top: 0px;\n\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ol li .listIcon {\n                display: none !important\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList li a {\n                display: inline-flex !important;\n                text-decoration: underline !important;\n                color: #00B4B4;\n            }\n\n            .richText a {\n                color: #00B4B4;\n                text-decoration: underline;\n            }\n\n            .richText p {\n                margin: 0;\n                margin-bottom: 20px;\n            }\n\n            .richText p:last-child {\n                margin-bottom: 0 !important;\n            }\n        <\/style>\n        <div class=\"richText customBulletList copy_medium text-color\"><h2>What Is the EU-US Data Privacy Framework?<\/h2>\n<p><br \/>The EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) is the current adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Article 45 GDPR.<\/p>\n<p>It allows personal data to be transferred to certified U.S. organizations, provided they comply with defined privacy and data protection requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The Data Privacy Framework replaces the previous agreements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><div class=\"listIcon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" id=\"uuid-5c1f5060-c79f-455b-951c-fdfba722c0a4\" data-name=\"Ebene 1\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 18\"><defs><style>      .uuid-07fe4fd6-62f4-4301-bf52-28d26aeefbf1 {        stroke-width: 0px;

valid?<\/strong><br \/>Yes. The adequacy decision remains fully in force.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need to leave Microsoft 365 or Salesforce now?<\/strong><br \/>No. However, organizations should review and strengthen their technical safeguards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happens if Schrems III occurs?<\/strong><br \/>If the European Court of Justice invalidates the Data Privacy Framework, organizations would need to reassess their data transfer mechanisms. Companies that have already implemented technical data sovereignty measures significantly reduce this risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are Standard Contractual Clauses sufficient?<\/strong><br \/>No. They provide a legal basis for data transfers but do not prevent technical access to plaintext data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does client-side encryption protect data?<\/strong><br \/>Data is encrypted before it reaches the cloud. The cloud provider only processes encrypted information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is technical data sovereignty becoming increasingly important?<\/strong><br \/>Because political agreements, privacy frameworks, and international legal conditions can change at any time. Technical safeguards remain effective regardless of regulatory developments.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-890fb5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-richText\" data-id=\"890fb5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"richText.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n        <style>\n            .customBulletList ol {\n                list-style-type: decimal;\n                padding-left: 30px;\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ol li {\n                padding-left: 5px;\n                margin-bottom: 16px;\n\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ul {\n                list-style: none;\n                padding-left: 0;\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ul li {\n                display: flex;\n                align-items: start;\n                gap: 30px;\n                margin-bottom: 16px;\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ul li .listIcon {\n                width: 24px;\n                height: 24px;\n\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ul li svg {\n                width: 24px !important;\n                fill: #00B4B4;\n                margin-top: 0px;\n\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList ol li .listIcon {\n                display: none !important\n            }\n\n            .customBulletList li a {\n                display: inline-flex !important;\n                text-decoration: underline !important;\n                color: #00B4B4;\n            }\n\n            .richText a {\n                color: #00B4B4;\n                text-decoration: underline;\n            }\n\n            .richText p {\n                margin: 0;\n                margin-bottom: 20px;\n            }\n\n            .richText p:last-child {\n                margin-bottom: 0 !important;\n            }\n        <\/style>\n        <div class=\"richText customBulletList copy_medium text-color\"><h2>Conclusion: Don't Wait for Schrems III<\/h2>\n<p><br \/>Whether the EU-US Data Privacy Framework will remain valid in the long term remains uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>What is certain is this: International privacy agreements may change.
