BRUSSELS (Reuters) -A data transfer deal agreed by the European Union and the United States two years ago to replace two previous pacts rejected by a higher tribunal was given the green light by Europe's second-highest court on Wednesday.
The ruling will provide legal certainty to thousands of companies, ranging from banks to tech companies to drugmakers and car manufacturers, that transfer personal data across the Atlantic for commercial use such as payroll purposes and cloud infrastructure.
