[full-text, 3 pages]

 

Summary

Data management is crucial to most companies’ operations.  The data often includes names, addresses and other

information on suppliers, customers or employees.  U.S. companies that receive this type of data from the European

Union (EU) need to be aware of strict EU-wide laws that establish how personally identifiable data can be collected,

stored, processed and transferred.

  

This report examines EU data protection provisions as they relate to data exports.  It sets out the obligations facing

U.S. companies in this area, and outlines the compliance options available to them.  It also provides an update on

changes to the cross-border data transfer regime currently under examination by the EU legislators – the European

Parliament and the Council of Member States.
