| EU Privacy Shield Self-Certification Is Now Open |
 If your company transfers the personal information of European Union citizens to the United States, you likely have kept a close eye on the evolution of EU privacy law since a European court invalidated the former EU-U.S. Safe Harbor agreement. Recently, after nine months of uncertainty, the EU and U.S. reached a new accord termed the Privacy Shield. Similar to the defunct Safe Harbor, the Privacy Shield allows companies to self-certify their compliance with the Privacy Shield's data protection principles.
The U.S. Commerce Department has begun accepting self-certifications. Because adhering to the Privacy Shield's principles will likely affect companies' commercial relationships with third parties, companies that self-certify before September 30, 2016 will have a nine-month grace period for bringing existing commercial relationships into compliance.
