Bermudas Privacy Commissioner recently announced recognition for the APEC CBPR System as a certification mechanism for overseas transfers of personal data. The move promises strong safeguards for transfers of data outside of Bermuda. CBPR is a unified framework for the exchange of personal information among the 21 participating economies in APEC. The recognition of the CBPR framework is a sensible step towards ensuring the continued ease of doing business for globally-focused organisations domiciled in Bermuda, many of whom will likely be sharing information with entities in the USA.
