Would like an answer to this, too. Having a few customers already say they can’t sign contracts with us as long as one of our subcontractors operates under the now “illegal” privacy shield.

This is a good question that remains unanswered. The Digial ocean DPA is not updated accordingly to cover the latest regulation in the privacy shield.
