Description

Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules Forum announced

On 21 April 2022, the governments of Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, and the United States of America signed a declaration for the creation of a Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (GCBPR) Forum. The GCBPR aims to be a hub for global cooperation regarding digital trade, secure data flows, and privacy, with the goal of evaluating differing domestic approaches and building interoperable international standards for data transfers. The GCBPR is an expansion of the Cross-Border Privacy Rules System of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), which enables voluntary data protection certification for companies, to transfer data between the abovementioned participating countries. The same countries, with the exception of Australia and Mexico, now declared the creation of the GCBPR as a parallel international certification mechanism for data transfers to non-APEC countries.
