For more information about the Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website at www.privacyshield.gov. Additionally, as the Canadian legislation states: “Today’s globally interdependent economy relies on international flows of information. These cross-border transfers do raise some legitimate concerns about where personal information is going as well as what happens to it while in transit and after it arrives at some foreign destination. Consumer confidence will be enhanced, and trust will be fostered, if consumers know that transfers of their personal information are governed by clear and transparent rules.” https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/privacy-topics/personal-information-transferred-across-borders/gl_dab_090127/
