Following the invalidation of the Privacy Shield by the Court of Justice of the European Union on 16 July 2020 (SCHREMS 2), special attention must be paid to the transfer of personal data.

In practice, the issues raised so as not to impact commercial relationships and render them difficult to manage, are significant. All the while, numerous IT solutions can be involved in such transfers.

On 17 August 2020, 101 complaints were filed by the non-profit organisation Noyb against European companies the websites of which continue to transfer data to the United States. Three Luxembourg companies had complaints filed against them. The list of companies against which complaints were filed as well as the complaints themselves can be found here: https://noyb.eu/en/eu-us-transfers-complaint-overview
