Certify and value your GDPR Compliance with Europrivacy®

HACA PARTNERS is an official Europrivacy™/® partner to support your certification with Europrivacy, the official European Data Protection Seal under Art. 42 and 43 GDPR. Europrivacy certifications are legally recognised by 30 countries, including all EU and EEA member states.

Here are some good reasons to embrace a Europrivacy certification:

1. Build trust and confidence with your partners, investors, and end-users;

2. Identify and reduce legal, financial, and reputational risks;

3. Check and demonstrate GDPR compliance;

4. Develop a competitive advantage;

5. Turn compliance into value and a source of revenue ;

6. Improve reputation and access to market;

7. Facilitate data transfers (cross-border and processor);

8. Easily extend compliance to non-EU jurisdictions and other EU regulations

9. Receive regulatory updates;

10. Legally recognized by all EU and EEA Member States.

 

Europrivacy demonstrates your company’s commitment to protect personal data and to be a trustable and reliable service provider. It positions your company as a front-runner in data protection with a strong competitive advantage on the market. It turns your compliance into a competitive advantage and source of value creation. It also allows you to join an ecosystem of trustable service providers.

 

Companies that are in breach of the GDPR are exposed to massive fines: up to 20 million or 4% of the worldwide turnover (Art. 83 GDPR). Moreover, the GDPR makes those processing personal data responsible for the compliance of their service providers. The certification reduces the risks for the data controllers (Art. 28 GDPR). In consequence of it, all companies will have a strong incentive to prefer certified service providers to reduce their own risks.
