The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF) was developed to facilitate transatlantic commerce by providing U.S. organisations with reliable mechanisms for personal data transfers to the United States from the European Union / European Economic Area, the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar), and Switzerland that are consistent with EU, UK, and Swiss law. The program is administered by the International Trade Administration (ITA) within the U.S. Department of Commerce. Once an organisation self-certifies to the ITA and publicly declares its commitment to adhere to the DPF Principles, that commitment is enforceable under U.S. law.
