The protection of personal information relating to the prevention, investigation, detection

This agreement establishes a legal framework for the exchange of personal data between the European Union and the United States. It ensures that information shared for the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of crimes is handled with strict privacy protections to maintain legal standards on both sides of the Atlantic.

This procedure affects law enforcement agencies and judicial authorities in both the EU and US, as well as individuals whose personal data may be transferred during international criminal investigations.
