European Data Protection Board Issues Opinion on U.S. CLOUD Act
On July 10, 2019, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) issued a joint assessment of the impact of the U.S. Clarifying Overseas Use of Data Act (CLOUD Act) on the legal framework for the protection of personal data in the EU.
The institutions note that the extraterritorial effect of the CLOUD Act could result in service providers being “susceptible to facing a conflict of laws between US law and the GDPR and other applicable EU or national law of the Member States.”
