The DPF provides robust safeguards, application mechanisms, and repair options to ensure that personal data remains protected when transferred outside the EU. This certification reinforces Synchronoss' long-standing commitment to international privacy standards and strengthens its position as a trusted partner for Tier 1 telecommunications operators worldwide.
The DPF certification is a significant achievement for Synchronoss, as it underscores the company's dedication to responsible data governance. Jeff Miller, President and CEO of Synchronoss, emphasized that achieving this certification builds on the company's global compliance framework and reinforces its promise to deliver secure, scalable, and consumer-friendly cloud solutions that meet the highest standards of trust. Mark Denihan, Chief Privacy Officer at Synchronoss, added that the DPF certification reflects the company's steadfast dedication to responsible data governance, assuring European partners that their data transfers are conducted with integrity and transparency.
The EU-U.S. DPF establishes legally enforceable safeguards for the transfer of personal data of EU individuals to certified U.S. organizations. This is particularly vital in the European landscape, where digital sovereignty and ethical data stewardship are paramount. Synchronoss's successful certification affirms its ability to manage both HR and non-HR data responsibly in cross-border contexts, supporting the data privacy expectations of global partners.
With the addition of the DPF certification, Synchronoss further strengthens its comprehensive compliance framework. This achievement adds to Synchronoss’s established suite of global credentials, including SOC 2 Type II for data security and integrity, ISO 27001 for information security management, and independent privacy validation through TRUST/e. Collectively, these certifications reflect a proactive and sustained investment in data protection and a robust global privacy infrastructure.
