WASHINGTON – The EU General Court’s decision to uphold the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework is welcome news for small tech companies and developers. ACT | The App Association’s members are global corporations by birth and rely on clear and predictable policy to operate across national borders.

“The seamless flow of data between economies and across borders is essential to the functioning of the global app economy” said Morgan Reed, president of ACT | The App Association. “The Data Privacy Framework (DPF) has been a critical pathway for our U.S.-based members to avoid complex contract negotiations with EU business partners, while also clarifying their commitment to data security and privacy. The EU General Court’s ruling preserves the robust protections for consumer privacy and data in digital trade across the Atlantic.”
