Read MoreIs our U.S. company subject to GDPR? New guidance on territorial scope from EDPB
By Jennifer Ruehr and Susan Lyon-Hintze
Non-EU organizations that process personal data as data controllers or processors frequently ask whether they are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The answer depends in part on the “territorial scope” provisions in Article 3 of the GDPR. Organizations fall under the territorial scope of the GDPR when they meet one of two main criteria: the “establishment” criterion under Article 3(1) or the “targeting” criterion under Article 3(2). On November 16, 2018, the European Data Protection Board (“EDPB”) released “Guidelines 3/2018 on the territorial scope of the GDPR (Article 3)-Version for public consultation.” These guidelines provide interpretation and clarification of the Article 3 criteria that can help organizations understand and evaluate how the GDPR applies to their data processing.

On February 29, 2016, the European Commission issued a draft “adequacy decision” introducing the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield (“Privacy Shield”). The Privacy Shield replaces the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework (“Safe Harbor”) as the new data transfer agreement legitimizing transfer of EU personal data to the U.S. by certifying participants. As described and linked to in the Commission’s press release, several U.S. government agencies have provided written commitments to enforce the Privacy Shield. These commitments will be published in the U.S. Federal Register.
