Abstract: 
This study examines the multifaceted approach undertaken by United States-based organizations in achieving compliance with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) since its enforcement in May 2018. Through empirical analysis of corporate adaptation strategies, regulatory frameworks, and cross-border data transfer mechanisms, this research reveals a complex landscape of compliance methodologies that reflect both the extraterritorial reach of EU privacy law and the distinctive characteristics of American data governance philosophy. The findings demonstrate that U.S. organizations have developed hybrid compliance models that balance European privacy requirements with American business practices, resulting in significant organizational and technological transformations across multiple industry sectors.
