Cloudflare Certifies Under the New EU-U.S. Privacy Shield

Cloudflare has certified with the U.S. Department of Commerce for the new EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework, a mechanism by which European companies can transfer personal data to their counterparts in the United States. The certification demonstrates Cloudflare's commitment to further protecting the security and privacy of its customers. The Privacy Shield expands upon the former U.S.-EU Safe Harbor, improving and bolstering privacy protections for Europeans with respect to the handling of their personal data. As a security company, Cloudflare takes customer trust and safety seriously and has strengthened internal processes and controls to meet the new heightened requirements mandated by the European Commission.
