Data Protection Commissioner protiv Facebook Ireland i Maximilian Schrems (predmet C-311/18) - što je prethodilo ovoj presudi i što budućnost nosi?

This master thesis analyzes what preceded the long-awaited judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in case C-311/18 Data Protection Commissioner v Facebook Ireland Limited and Maximillian Schrems (more commonly known as the Schrems II), and what can be expected after such a decision. Specifically, the entire history of how the abovementioned judgment was reached is thoroughly described, beginning with the differences between the data protection legislation of the European Union and the United States. The creation of the Safe Harbour, the first agreement governing transatlantic data transfers, and the CJEU's Schrems I ruling, which invalidated the aforementioned framework, are then detailed. This master thesis also tackles the creation of the Privacy Shield, which was the Safe Harbour's successor, and an analysis of the Schrems II judgment. Additionally, it demonstrates what might be expected in the post-Schrems II era, particularly with regard to the new framework for data transfer between the European Union and the United States that shall come into effect in 2023.Ovaj diplomski rad analizira pravni okvir koji je prethodio dugo očekivanoj presudi Suda Europske unije u predmetu C-311/18 Data Protection Commissioner protiv Facebook Ireland Limited i Maximillian Schrems (koji je poznatiji pod nazivom Schrems II) te što možemo očekivati nakon takve odluke. Konkretno, iscrpno su analizirani svi događaji koji su doveli do spomenute presude – počevši od razlika u zakonodavstvu o zaštiti podataka između Europske unije i Sjedinjenih Američkih Država; stvaranje Sigurne luke, prvog sporazuma koji uređuje transatlantski prijenos osobnih podataka, i s tim u vezi, obrada presude Suda Europske unije Schrems I koja je poništila navedeni sporazum; stvaranje Štita privatnosti koji je bio nasljednik Sigurne luke, te na kraju dubinska analiza presude Schrems II. Uz to, ovaj diplomski rad pružio je uvid u ono što se može očekivati u eri nakon presude Schrems II, posebice u vezi s novim sporazumom o prijenosu osobnih podataka između Europske unije i Sjedinjenih Američkih Država koji će stupiti na snagu 2023. godine
