EU Safe Harbor Framework Aug 30th 2013, 09:19 Under the European Data Protection Directive personal information of European Citizens cannot be transferred outside of the European Economic Area unless there is adequate protection of the information. The EU Safe Harbor Framework is an agreement between Europe and the USA to establish adequate protection for information transfers. Companies who wish to be Safe Harbor registered have to apply to the US Department of Export, have an independent dispute resolution procedure in place, and can be investigated by the US Federal Trade Commission if they fail to meet the obligations they have agreed to. These companies will have to meet standards that mirror the obligations and protections under the European law. The membership to the Framework has to be renewed annually and registered members will have a certificate confirming their compliance.
