Latest regulatory update
On 15 April 2026, the European Data Protection Board confirmed that:
- Europrivacy certification can be used by non-EU controllers and processors
- It supports cross-border data transfers as an additional safeguard if the requirements of the Europrivacy certification are met
This makes Europrivacy a practical tool for global organisations operating under the GDPR and also ideal for European organisations working with non-EU vendors.
