On July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice for the European Union (CJEU) issued a ruling in a case invalidating the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework, one of the ways for companies to transfer data legally from the EU to the US. Additionally, on September 8, 2020, the Swiss Data Protection Authority (the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, “FDPIC”), announced in a position statement that it no longer considers the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield adequate for the purposes of transfers of personal data from Switzerland to the U.S. We know that some of you may have questions about how these changes impact your use of Map Your City.
