The only question is when the EU will find the UK’s data protection adequate, she said: It’s hoped that will happen by year’s end, but “I would not bet my money on anything right now.”Alja also discussed the fate of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, noting that there might be little change, though U.S. organizations relying on it to receive personal data from the UK should probably update their certifications. She added that participants seeking to receive personal data from the UK will have to update their public commitments to refer to the UK specifically.
