Earlier this week, the second highest court of the EU ordered the European Commission to pay EUR 400 in damages to an individual for transferring their personal data to the U.S. without having implemented a data transfer mechanism under EU law. This marks the first time an EU court has recognized that individuals can be awarded damages for illegal data transfers without having to demonstrate material loss, which opens the door to potential claims, including class actions, for non-material damages relating to violations of the EU’s data transfer rules. The ruling may be appealed, but it indicates that companies should carefully consider how they comply with EU rules on data transfers.
