Frequently asked questions

What are the Binding Corporate Rules?

The Binding Corporate Rules (“BCRs”) are a certification granted by the European Data Protection Board (“EDPB”), the collective body of all EU Data Protection Authorities. Through the BCRs, the EDPB certifythat the privacy programme implemented by a company is compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations (“GDPR”)and the same level of data protection compliance valid in Europe is applied all over the entities of the same group. In addition, the BCRs are a tool for safely transfer personal data outside the EU within a group of companies.

When was Colt awarded the BCRs?

What does the BCRs imply for Colt?

Please could you explain a little the procedure of obtaining the BCRs?

Colt BCRs were negotiated and discussed with the 3 toughest European Data Protection Authorities and approved by the European Data Protection Boardwhich includes all the EU Data Protection Authorities.
