Sep 16, 2024
Today, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo issued the following statement on Switzerland’s adequacy decision on the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF):
“The United States welcomes the Swiss Federal Council’s finding that the Swiss-U.S. DPF provides an adequate level of protection to transfer personal data from Switzerland to the United States. Effective September 15, 2024, this change enables organizations to transfer personal data from Switzerland to Swiss-U.S. DPF-certified organizations in the United States.
The Swiss-U.S. DPF offers U.S. businesses conducting business with Switzerland an affordable and efficient solution for transferring personal data in compliance with Swiss law. This mechanism will help thousands of small- and medium-sized businesses who rely on data transfers to serve global customers and perform essential business functions.”
The U.S. Department of Commerce will continue to provide guidance to organizations looking to participate in or learn more about the Swiss-U.S. DPF: dataprivacyframework.gov/NewsEvents
