The three years since GDPR became law have made it incredibly clear that trust is key to ensuring technology\u2019s success and growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I am excited to share another important milestone on this privacy journey \u2014 the European Data Protection Board approved the EU Data Protection Code of Conduct for Cloud Service Providers (commonly known as the<a href=\"https:\/\/eucoc.cloud\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> EU Cloud Code of Conduct<\/a>). By certifying to the first-of-its-kind code, cloud service providers can demonstrate their commitment to compliance with the GDPR.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salesforce is committed to compliance with global data protection laws and standards. To demonstrate our commitment, we maintain a comprehensive set of compliance certifications and attestations. As a founding member of the Code\u2019s General Assembly, we are pleased to now have a means to demonstrate our ability to comply with GDPR by declaring adherence to the code for our core services. SCOPE Europe, the EU Code of Conduct\u2019s independent monitoring body, will now evaluate Salesforce\u2019s declaration of adherence. We encourage all cloud providers and partners to join us, and help build an industry committed to ensuring data protection for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why we need a EU Code of Conduct<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU Code of Conduct is a comprehensive and authoritative compliance framework capable of addressing the specific regulatory needs of the cloud industry. Ultimately, it will help enable the broader adoption of cloud services across the continent, and further protect the rights of millions of Europeans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The code also creates a guide for organizations to build trust with individuals, showing a commitment to responsible use of data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former European Commission Vice-President Neelie Kroes, a Salesforce board member, led the creation of the Code through meaningful exchanges with the European Commission, data protection authorities, and the wider cloud community. Addressing the EU Cloud Compliance Summit on May 20, Kroes reinforced the need for trust in today\u2019s digital landscape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have all seen how important digital technologies, and cloud computing in particular, have been during the COVID pandemic \u2014 for work-from-home, remote learning, and vaccine management,\u201d she said. \u201cBut people and businesses will not use what they can\u2019t trust\u2026 I would like to encourage more cloud service providers to get familiar with the Code and consider joining. This way we can create a wide trust ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>People and businesses will not use what they can\u2019t trust.<\/p><cite>Neelie Kroes, Former European Commission Vice-President, Salesforce board member<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Working with European stakeholders for trusted digital infrastructure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Salesforce, our top priority is the security and privacy of customer data. In addition to our commitment to key third party certifications such as<a href=\"https:\/\/compliance.salesforce.com\/en\/c5-isae-3000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> C5<\/a> in Germany and<a href=\"https:\/\/compliance.salesforce.com\/en\/asip-sante-hds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> ASIP Sant\u00e9<\/a> in France in 2015, we were the first enterprise software company to achieve approval from European data protection authorities for our Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) for Processors to facilitate international transfers of European Union (EU) personal data. Our BCRs were amended in 2018 to meet our new commitments with the GDPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 2020, we also became an early<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/salesforce-joins-cloud-project-gaia-x\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> member of GAIA-X<\/a>, an initiative jointly launched by the French and the German governments to create a cloud-based data ecosystem that promotes both innovation and the highest standards of data protection and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these efforts and the new EU Code of Conduct, we will continue to work with industry and political stakeholders for trusted digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For more information on Salesforce and privacy, visit <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/salesforce.com\/privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>salesforce.com\/privacy<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This May marks the third anniversary of the European Union\u2019s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
