Dear HN, please scale down the panic.<p>>President Trump’s Executive Order calls for federal agencies in the U.S. to ensure that their privacy notices make clear that Privacy Act protections extend only to citizens and permanent residents of the U.S. Importantly, Article 14 of the Order explicitly states that the federal agencies must do so in a manner that is “consistent with applicable law.” In the context of EU-U.S. data transfers for law enforcement purposes, the Judicial Redress Act constitutes applicable law, and thus President Trump’s Executive Order, as written, should not impact the Judicial Redress Act’s extension of the Privacy Act’s protections to citizens of the EU. As a result, absent further action from the U.S. government, we do not expect this Executive Order to impact the legal viability of the Privacy Shield Framework.<p><a href="https://www.huntonprivacyblog.com/2017/01/28/privacy-shield-impact-of-trumps-executive-order/" rel="nofollow">https://www.huntonprivacyblog.com/2017/01/28/privacy-shield-...</a>
