Information collection by the Department of Commerce, as represented by the International Trade Administration, from organizations in the United States self-certifying to participate in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (Privacy Shield).
In order to rely on the Privacy Shield for transfers of personal data from the EU, an organization must self-certify its adherence to the Privacy Shield Principles to the DOC, be placed by the ITA on the Privacy Shield List, and remain on the Privacy Shield List. Participating organizations are required to respond to inquiries and requests by the ITA for information relating to the Privacy Shield. To self-certify for the Privacy Shield, an organization must provide to the DOC a self-certification submission, which contains the information specified in the Privacy Shield Principles. The DOC has committed to follow up with organizations that have been removed from the Privacy Shield List. In addition, the DOC has committed to conduct compliance reviews on an ongoing basis, including by sending detailed questionnaires to participating organizations.
