We’re proud to announce that Bluelock has completed self-certification of compliance with the United States – European Union Safe Harbor Framework. Completing this framework allows customers to use Bluelock’s service with confidence that personal information will be secure.
Bluelock undertook several internal audits to comply with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use and retention of personal information from customers.
Bluelock adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement.
In addition to Safe Harbor, TrustArc TRUSTe, the most recognized Internet privacy seal program in the world, also granted Bluelock the TRUSTe Privacy Seal, which signifies their privacy policy and practices have been reviewed for compliance with the TRUSTe program.
