HOW WE COMPLY WITH THE PRIVACY SHIELD

Sitecore complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield and Swiss – US Privacy Shield Frameworks (together referred to as “Privacy Shield”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from data subjects who reside in the EU and Switzerland, respectively. Sitecore’s Privacy Shield certification relates only to data transferred by Sitecore USA, Inc. from the EU, the United Kingdom and Switzerland to the US.

Sitecore has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of notice, choice, accountability for onward transfer, security, data integrity and purpose limitation, access, and recourse, enforcement and liability. If there is any conflict between the terms of any Sitecore privacy policy and the Privacy Shield principles, the Privacy Shield principles shall govern. 

As required under the principles, when Sitecore receives information under the Privacy Shield and then transfers it to a third party service provider acting as an agent on behalf of Sitecore, Sitecore has certain liability for the onward processing of Personal Data  under the Privacy Shield if both (i) the agent processes the information in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield and (ii) Sitecore is responsible for the event giving rise to the damage. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view Sitecore’s certification, please visit the Privacy Shield website. 

Recently, in July 2020, the Privacy Shield has been declared invalid by the European Court of Justice. As a result, the US Department of Commerce and EU data protection authorities have been working on a solution to adapt the current framework to meet the objectives of the Court’s decision. Sitecore is committed to adapting to the new regulations and remaining Privacy Shield certified demonstrates our strong commitment to protecting Personal Information.
