En apparence technique, le sujet a tout de la bombe politique. L’administration Trump respectera-t-elle le Privacy Shield, cet accord transatlantique sur l’échange des données ? La publication le 25 janvier d’un « Executive Order » par le 45e président des Etats-Unis a mis le feu aux poudres. Dans un article modifiant le Privacy Act (la loi qui précise la collecte, et l’utilisation des informations des individus), le nouveau gouvernement indiquait que dorénavant la protection des données personnelles dans le cadre des enquêtes de police ne s’appliquerait plus aux non-Américains. Dans les esprits, cette modification de la loi était de nature à remettre en cause l’accord négocié l’année dernière entre la Commission européenne et le gouvernement Obama.

Adoption d’un accord entre l’UE et les Etats-Unis sur les données personnelles. Le Parlement européen a donné son aval, le 1er décembre, à un accord négocié entre l’UE et les Etats-Unis pour mieux garantir la protection des données personnelles échangées entre les autorités policières et judiciaires américaines et européennes.
Cet accord-cadre, négocié pendant quatre ans, couvre les transferts transatlantiques de données à caractère personnel (nom, adresse ou encore casier judiciaire), effectués pour prévenir ou détecter des infractions pénales, et mener des enquêtes et des poursuites.Cet accord qui a été largement approuvé par les députés (481 voix pour, 75 voix contre, 88 abstentions), établit un cadre légal pour les activités de contrôle des autorités de protection des données, et notamment le droit : - d’être informé en cas de violation en matière de sécurité de données,- de pouvoir demander la rectification d’informations incorrectes, ou- d’introduire un recours en justice.

Further Challenges to EU-US Privacy Shield and EU Data Exports. Privacy Shield Principles Permit Transfer of Personal Data Between United States and European Union.
To transfer personal data from the European Union ("EU") to the United States ("US"), a legal basis for the transfer must exist.
The EU and the US have agreed to new principles, referred to as Privacy Shield Principles ("Privacy Shield" or "Principles"), that will permit the transfer of personal data between the US and the EU if the transferring entity does not have in place approved binding corporate rules or model contract provisions. US organizations can self-certify that they are in compliance with the Principles to enter Privacy Shield, thus permitting the transfer of personal data to the US entity. Health care organizations should consider whether they should require vendors to self-certify or if an alternative, such as model contract provisions, are a better approach to prevent a disruption in the ability to transfer personal data.

Privacy group launches legal challenge against EU-U.S. data pact. By Julia Fioretti and Dustin Volz| BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON A widely expected legal challenge has been filed by an Irish privacy advocacy group to an EU-U.S. commercial data transfer pact underpinning billions of dollars of trade in digital services just two months after it came into force, sources said.
The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield was agreed earlier this year after the European Union's highest court struck down the previous Safe Harbour agreement over the transfer of Europeans' personal data to the United States, on concerns about intrusive U.S. surveillance.

Brussels officials who negotiated the deal on behalf of the EU have been desperate to push it through in the face of criticism from the European Data Protection Supervisor, national data protection authorities, and the European Parliament, in order to give some legal certainty to companies that rely on transatlantic data flows.
