The Asia-Pacific Economic Corporation (APEC), Cross Border Privacy Rules (CBPR), and Privacy for Processors (PRP) Systems are initiatives that address cross-border data flows and increase protection of consumer information between the twenty-one participating APEC Member Economies. With data volumes growing across borders and industries, everyone benefits from being able to demonstrate compliance with internationally recognized privacy and security measures.

APEC developed the CBPR and PRP Systems to enable businesses to demonstrate compliance with a commonly understood set of privacy standards that can be used to properly send data across the APEC economies, thereby establishing a level of certainty and predictability for companies that move data across borders, and an assurance of privacy and security for the individuals providing that data.

This session walks the audience through the intricacies and opportunities of harmonization, coordination, and cooperation on privacy and data protection issues for global companies.

Key takeaways:

• Understand the APEC CBPRs and PRPs certification process

• Discover the value of and uses for such certifications

• Learn how to participate in the program(s)
