개인정보 역외 이전의 최근 동향에 대한 연구 - EU-US Privacy Shield의 고찰을 중심으로 -

Both the U.S. and Europe are pursuing various policies, such as investment to revitalize the ICT sector, such as the big data industry, but are concerned about the abuse of personal information and infringement of privacy rights that such industries will bring. Although there are differences in form and means, the U.S. is strengthening the protection of personal information in terms of technology and management, and considers the risk and possibility of personal information infringement as a privacy aspect in individual legislative processes related to personal information protection. In this situation, in order to meet global standards, the protection conditions under Korean laws and regulations on the offshore transfer of personal information must be the same as those of foreign countries, and the issues of jurisdiction and governing law must be resolved. This problem will be resolved if international treaties on personal information protection are signed, but now it is being resolved through bilateral agreements such as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework rather than international treaties after the invalidation of the Safe Harbor Agreement. The study analyzing and reviewing the details, operational status, and implications of recent agreements such as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework provides a normative basis for the personal information protection and utilization system that we can take when establishing a personal information protection cooperation system at the global level, and secures the mobility of personal information to which international protection levels are applied. If the personal information of Korean people transferred abroad is violated, it will contribute to laying a specific normative foundation for better guaranteeing the right to self-determination of personal information for securing damage relief measures through cooperation between countries.
