Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

United States companies operating in the EU must handle EU customer data under rules negotiated between the US and the EU, such as the Privacy Shield framework (although it has been invalidated, similar mechanisms are sought). This ensures that EU citizens' data is protected according to EU standards, even when processed by US companies.
