Partner Aaron Tantleff was quoted in an article for SC Magazine, “Survey: 34% of Privacy Pros Expect Their Companies to Certify Under Privacy Shield,” on September 1, 2016. The article discussed a recent survey that underscores the uncertainty around the newly approved EU-U.S. Privacy Shield that found only 34 percent of companies anticipate adopting the framework responsible for secure transatlantic data flow. Tantleff was quoted saying, “This report comes as no surprise. Given the current uncertainty, many are considering a wait-and-see approach or evaluating other means for fear that the Privacy Shield will only last until the one-year grace period afforded by the local data authorities before [it’s challenged]. … Many companies feel that Privacy Shield and the SCCs are just a ticking time bomb.”
