Zapproved Announces EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Certification
Zapproved Inc., a developer of cloud‐based software for corporate legal departments, announced that the U.S. Department of Commerce has accepted Zapproved’s self-certification as Privacy Shield compliant. Zapproved’s Privacy Shield Certificate is available on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website.
The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework was designed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and European Commission to provide companies on both sides of the Atlantic with a mechanism to comply with EU data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European Union to the United States in support of transatlantic commerce. Becoming certified as EU-U.S. Privacy Shield compliant enables Zapproved to demonstrate compliance with EU data transfer rules and our ongoing commitment to best practices in data privacy.
“Zapproved takes data security and data privacy very seriously,” said Brad Harris, VP of Product Strategy for Zapproved. “We proactively look for ways to implement best practices, whether it be earning SOC2 ® certification or self-certifying as Privacy Shield compliant. Ensuring data security and privacy is part of our ongoing commitment to our many customers who engage in commerce globally.”
