# Pixalate Week in Review: July 17 - 21, 2023

This week's review of ad fraud and privacy in the digital advertising space:

## EU-US Data Privacy Framework Review

![Data Privacy Adequacy Decision](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Data%20Privacy%20Adequacy%20Decision.png?width=781&height=439&name=Data%20Privacy%20Adequacy%20Decision.png)

Pixalate’s GDPR expert Yusra Kayani reviewed the latest updates to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework in [this blog](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/eu-us-data-privacy-adequacy-decision-introduces-new-framework), including what it means for ad tech. The positive effect of this decision cannot be underestimated, but at the same time it’s important to understand the obligations that kick in under the new framework. This is a must read for all ad tech teams.

You can also download our list of top 20 most popular apps based on programmatic ad traffic in the EU that currently have international data transfer clauses in their privacy policies.

 Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.”
