Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) Forum Welcomes Participation by Interested Jurisdictions

April 13, 2023

The Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) Forum opens its doors to participation by interested jurisdictions with the release of the Global CBPR Framework and the Forum’s Terms of Reference.

The Framework complements the Global CBPR Declaration (2022) in setting out the principles and objectives of the Forum. It is based on the APEC Privacy Framework and consistent with the core principles of the OECD’s Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Trans-Border Flows of Personal Data.  The Global CBPR Framework establishes the core requirements on which  the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) and Global Privacy Recognition for Processors (PRP) Systems are to be based.

The Terms of Reference sets out the criteria and process by which jurisdictions can participate in the Forum. The Terms of Reference also sets out the Forum’s organizational structure, including the  policy making body, the Global Forum Assembly (GFA), and its working committees.  This structure provides a clear framework for the Forum’s initial operations, while also allowing for further expansion and development over time.

The Forum is also pleased to introduce its leadership team:

GFA Chair: 

  • United States, Shannon Coe, Director, Global Data Policy, International Trade Administration, Dept. of Commerce

GFA Deputy Chair:

  • Singapore, Evelyn Goh, Director, International Relations, Policy & Strategy, Infocomm Media Development Authority
