ORock Technologies, Inc., a hybrid cloud and IaaS solutions provider, announced it has achieved compliance with U.S.-EU Privacy Shield, a data protection framework created by the U.S. Department of Commerce, European Union, and Swiss government.
The EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield framework provides companies on both sides of the Atlantic with a mechanism to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European Union and Switzerland to the U.S. in support of transatlantic commerce. The Privacy Shield framework replaced the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor framework in 2016.

Data privacy law is chiefly created and enforced according to sovereignty rules, with the country or region where the data is collected representing the entity that governs the data’s use. Examples of these sovereign privacy laws include a jumble of U.S. regulations and the more-uniform European Union GDPR law. The Privacy Shield framework provides sound guiding principles toward staying compliant with these disparate data privacy requirements, particularly how personal data is captured, used, and shared across different geographies.
