How is the Global CBPR Forum related to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CBPR and Privacy Recognition for Processors (PRP) Systems?
The Global CBPR Forum has established the Global CBPR and Global PRP Systems as international certification system based on the APEC CBPR and PRP Systems. The Forum’s certification systems will be independently administered and separate from the APEC Systems.
What if my business is currently certified or is interested in becoming certified in the APEC CBPR or the PRP Systems?
APEC CBPR and PRP certifications will continue to be provided through APEC-approved Accountability Agents until further notice. The founding members of the Global CBPR Forum that are currently participants in the APEC CBPR System plan to transition operations of the CBPR and PRP Systems from APEC to the Global CBPR Forum and will provide at least 30 days’ notice to Accountability Agents. All approved Accountability Agents and certified companies will automatically be recognized in the new Global CBPR Forum based on the same terms that they are recognized within the APEC CBPR and PRP Systems. Please contact your Accountability Agent for more information on the transition to the Global CBPR Forum.
How can I participate in the Global CBPR Forum?
The Global CBPR Forum members welcome consultations with jurisdictions that accept the objectives and principles of the Global CBPR Forum to identify alignment with CBPR System requirements.
