Since the CJEU ruling on the validity of Safe Harbor many companies have started to look again at Binding Corporate Rules as a longer-term EU compliance strategy.
The publication of the EU-APEC Referential document in 2014 marked a significant step towards greater global interoperability of international data transfer frameworks and opened up the possibility of achieving dual certification under both APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules and EU Binding Corporate Rules. But in an uncertain legal environment how do you know if this is the right route for your business?
This session will offer a deep-dive into the requirements of both data transfer frameworks and insights for companies considering going down this path as to exactly what the process involves and the potential benefits of leveraging work under the APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules for a streamlined Binding Corporate Rules application process in the EU.
Join this webinar to review long-term options for responsible multinational companies looking to transfer data from Europe to the US.
