Can someone please explain to me in plain English what "Safe Harbor" is? I ran across a DoD ( department of defense)article about it but I didnt really understand it very well. From what I gathered the US and the EU have 2 seperate standards for cyber security so this safe harbor thing was like a bridge between the two? I guess? anyway if you have thoughts on this fire away.
I didnt see this on the main page after i first posted it... odd... hmmm well i guess this is just a bump.
It has to do with personal data and privacy protection. Apparently the US and the EU maintain different standards, the EU's being a bit tighter. The biggest differences from what I can tell is that Europeans have more control over their personal information, even after it has been collected by companies.
