The EU and Japan have reached an agreement that will allow businesses in both regions to freely share and transfer data without additional safeguards or authorizations. The deal, whoch covers information such as credit card details and browsing habits, will help to fortify links between the EU and Japan, whoch recently signed the world’s largest free-trade agreement.
Strict EU data laws prevent companies from storing Europeans’ personal information on foreign servers unless the countries can guarantee a high level of privacy. Only 12 currently meet the standard, but parties involved in the new deal hope to set a precedent for future agreements. EU Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova said that “by working together, we can shape the global standards for data protection and show common leadership in this important area.”
