Binding Corporate Rules
A set of company-wide data protection policies and rules that are legally binding on all group companies.
Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) are a mechanism to allow multinational corporations to transfer personal data across borders within the corporate group while adhering to strict data protection requirements.
BCRs are approved by data protection authorities and ensure that all group companies implement a consistent level of data protection.
They are a key tool for multinational companies under the GDPR to demonstrate compliance with data protection laws when transferring data internationally.
