Withdrawal Questionnaire

A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor an information collection subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
unless the information collection has a currently valid OMB Control Number. The approved OMB Control Number for this information
collection is 06XX-XXXX (expires MM/DD/YYYY). Without this approval, we could not conduct this information collection. Public reporting for
this information collection is estimated to be approximately 20 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the information collection. All responses to
this information collection are voluntary. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this information collection,
including suggestions for reducing this burden to ITA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer at PRA@trade.gov.

You are receiving this questionnaire because your organization indicated its intention to withdraw from the EU-U.S. Data
Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF) and, as applicable, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and/or the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy
Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF). As a result, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (ITA) will
remove your organization from the Data Privacy Framework List with regard to the relevant part(s) of the DPF program.
Your organization must continue to apply the DPF Principles to the personal data that it received under the relevant part(s) of
the DPF program and affirm to the ITA on an annual basis its commitment to do so, for as long as it stores, uses or discloses
such data; otherwise, your organization must return or delete the data or provide “adequate” protection for the data by
another authorized means.
Your organization must cease making any explicit or implicit claims, whether on its website(s) or in other materials (e.g., any
privacy policy or marketing materials), that it participates in or complies with and may receive personal data pursuant to the
relevant part(s) of the DPF program.
Your organization must verify what it will do and/or has done (as applicable) with the personal data that it received in reliance
on its participation in the relevant part(s) of the DPF program and who within the organization will serve as an ongoing point
of contact for DPF-related questions.
