Until July 2020, it provided a legal basis for transferring personal data from the EU to the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agreement was intended to ensure that US companies maintained a level of data protection comparable to the GDPR. In its <strong>\u201cSchrems II\u201d judgment<\/strong> , however, the European Court of Justice declared Privacy Shield invalid because protection in the US was insufficient, particularly against access by US authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, personal data may be transferred to the US <strong>only under certain conditions<\/strong> \u2014 for example, on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses or, since July 2023, the <strong>EU\u2013US Data Privacy Framework<\/strong>, which replaced Privacy Shield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Relevance to <a href=\"https:\/\/trackboxx.com\/en\/glossary\/tracking\/\" data-type=\"glossar\" data-id=\"3812\">tracking<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/trackboxx.com\/en\/glossary\/web-analysis\/\" data-type=\"glossar\" data-id=\"3817\">Web analytics<\/a>: Many tools, including Google Analytics and Meta, rely on US infrastructure.
