EU Approves ADP’s Binding Corporate Rules for GDPR

ADP has received approval from the 28 European Union (EU) data protection authorities to implement Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) as both a data processor and data controller as part of the pending General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This approval means that ADP will implement the highest standards of global data protection both as a processor of clients’ data and as a data controller for the personal data of its employees and other business associates.

ADP President and CEO Carlos Rodriguez said that by adopting BCRs, ADP will help its clients meet the highest standards expected by the EU, provide solutions that support multinational business needs, and offer an extra level of governance over the protection of their data. He added that implementing BCRs illustrates ADP’s commitment to protect personal data in accordance with the standards required in the EU, regardless of where the European data is processed, accessed, or hosted.

“We’re passionate about protecting the privacy of our clients’ and employees’ personal information at every stage,” Rodriguez said. “We define, develop, and refine our products and set the policies that govern how we gather and manage data every single day.”
