Privacy Shield is intended to fix problems the Court of Justice of the European Union identified in the Safe Harbor framework. It is supposed to provide EU citizens with a guarantee that their personal information will benefit from the same privacy protections if processed in the U.S. as it would have at home.

That analysis will also consider alternative transfer mechanisms such as binding corporate rules and model contract clauses.”]
