EU Privacy Shield

Privacy Shield enables US businesses to receive and process personal data from the EAA countries and Switzerland after self-certifying their adherence to the protections set out in the Privacy Shield Principles. Your public self-certification to Privacy Shield with the U.S. Department of Commerce will ensure that European organizations and consumers know your business provides adequate privacy protection when:

• You are expanding your operations into Europe and collecting EU or Swiss customer or employee data;
• You are processing EU or Swiss data in the U.S. for a business partner using Privacy Shield; or
• In any situation where your business is using personal data of EU or Swiss individuals.
