Privacy Shield : l’Europe demande des garanties aux Etats-Unis

En apparence technique, le sujet a tout de la bombe politique. L’administration Trump respectera-t-elle le Privacy Shield, cet accord transatlantique sur l’échange des données ? La publication le 25 janvier d’un « Executive Order » par le 45e président des Etats-Unis a mis le feu aux poudres. Dans un article modifiant le Privacy Act (la loi qui précise la collecte, et l’utilisation des informations des individus), le nouveau gouvernement indiquait que dorénavant la protection des données personnelles dans le cadre des enquêtes de police ne s’appliquerait plus aux non-Américains. Dans les esprits, cette modification de la loi était de nature à remettre en cause l’accord négocié l’année dernière entre la Commission européenne et le gouvernement Obama.
