The two sides brokered the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework in 2023 to continue allowing US companies to store European users’ personal data on Stateside servers. The pact included a proviso that allows for Europeans to file complaints over what US companies do with their data.

Europe's second-highest court on Wednesday backed a new data transfer deal agreed between the European Union and the United States two years ago to replace two previous pacts rejected by a higher tribunal.
