Arpin earns EU-US Privacy Shield status

Oct 18 | 2017

Arpin International Group has obtained approval from the United States Department of Commerce for the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework for meeting US and European Union data privacy and protection standards. 

Bob Sullivan, Senior Vice President of Corporate Accounts at Arpin International Group said, “Becoming certified under the Privacy Shield is a validation of everything we do internally to secure and protect our customers’ data. Complying with data protection regulations has always been a top priority for Arpin.” 

The EU-US Privacy Shield Framework was designed by the US 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. 

Arpin International Group has taken numerous measures to ensure the protection of its data, including hiring a regulatory compliance manager and undergoing periodic cyber security penetration tests to bolster its defences against would-be hackers.
