Interested in Joining the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks?

As a U.S. business who targets EU or Swiss nationals with your products or services, you might consider joining the EU-U.S. and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Frameworks. The Data Privacy Framework (DPF) Program website provides an overview that contains key information about the DFP. Both Frameworks require a self certification. The U.S. government provides "Key Requirements for DPF Program Participating Organizations" to join the DFP dealing with eligibility together with constructing a compliant privacy policy. The site also has numerous FAQs about the DFP requirements as well as information on how the DFP are enforced. You may also view the texts and underlying documents of the DFP through the site. Review the benefits of joining the DFP as described by the U.S. Government. Finally, take a look at the searchable database of companies presently self-certifying under the DFP. The U.S. Department of Commerce through the U.S. International Trade Administration operates the above described website and its contents, so be sure to check the site often for updates. Any determination by your business to join the DFP is the sole responsibility of you and your company undertaken after careful review of all applicable requirements, documents, and regulations.
