that were certified as meeting certain "safe harbor" principles to process and store data of
European consumers and companies.
Q: European United States Privacy Shield Data Transfer Program Guidelines

the United States. The guidelines were established after the European Court of Justice declared

Answer:
Takes effect in May 2018 and addresses the export of personal data outside the EU enabling
