The Global CBPR Forum was established in 2022, by Australia, Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, and the United States of America, as jurisdictions participating in the APEC CBPR System at the time, to support the free flow of data and effective data protection and privacy globally.
The Global CBPR Forum’s objectives include:
- administering its global data protection and privacy certifications, the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) and Global Privacy Recognition for Processors (PRP) Systems;
- facilitating data protection and the free flow of data globally;
- providing a forum to share best practices and promote cooperation on data protection and privacy; and
- pursuing interoperability with other data protection and privacy frameworks.
The 2022 Global CBPR Declaration and the Global CBPR Framework provide the Forum’s principles and objectives. These include the Global CBPR Privacy Principles upon which the Global CBPR System and Global PRP Systems were designed.
The Global CBPR Forum engages with stakeholders in the course of its work to ensure that it is kept up-to-date on the latest developments in this field.
