The Oct. 6 European Court of Justice ruling that invalidated the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor framework has led to a partnership between TRUSTe, PactSafe and a number of international law firms. This partnership aims to help companies manage the privacy and operational challenges of implementing model contract clauses (MCC) to maintain compliance with EU data protection laws.
“Any business exporting data from the EU to the U.S. needs a quick and complete solution to remain compliant with EU privacy laws. Our partnership with TRUSTe allows businesses to rapidly implement model contract clauses while ensuring their data practices are in accordance with those clauses,” Brian Powers, CEO and founder of PactSafe, said in a statement.
TRUSTe's partnership with the international law firms will allow companies to be advised on the legal aspects of model contract clause compliance. Subsequent to the identification of the appropriate model contract clauses, PactSafe and TRUSTe will work together to streamline the process of contract agreement with clients and partners.
