Europrivacy™/® is the first GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) certification mechanism recognised as the European Data Protection Seal, as defined by Article 42 of the Regulation, in all EU member states. It enables organisations to demonstrate that their data processing activities comply with the EU GDPR and relevant national and international regulations.
The Europrivacy certification scheme was developed through the European Research Programme Horizon 2020, and co-funded by the European Commission and Switzerland.
It is managed and continually updated by the ECCP (European Centre for Certification and Privacy) in Luxembourg and its International Board of Experts in data protection, with the support of official partners such as the Italian Institute for Privacy and Data Valorisation.
It was approved by the EDPB (European Data Protection Board) as the European Data Protection Seal on 10 October 2022.
Europrivacy enables both data controllers and data processors to formally certify that their data processing activities comply with the GDPR and other relevant data protection laws.
Europrivacy certification is recognised in all 27 EU Member States and will be taken into account by the data protection authorities in the case of litigation.
To achieve certification, organisations must meet, among others, the Europrivacy core criteria, which are maintained by the ECCP and its Europrivacy International Board of Experts.
The core criteria allow organisations to assess their compliance with regard to:
Where applicable, the core criteria are supplemented with:
Certificates are valid for three years.
