EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) has self-certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. The Privacy Shield Framework replaces the earlier U.S.-E.U. Safe Harbor Framework that was invalidated in October of 2015. It is intended to provide a reliable mechanism for companies to transfer personal data from the EU to the U.S. while retaining adequate protections and safeguards and providing transparency related to the information collected. It also builds in accountability for data transfers and mechanisms for dispute resolution.
By participating in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, EBSCO certified that it adheres to the framework's principles, as set out by the US Department of Commerce, in the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union or the European Economic Area (EEA) to the United States.
The certification Privacy Shield Framework covers EBSCO Information Services' parent company, EBSCO Industries, Inc., and its subsidiaries, EBSCO Publishing, Inc. dba EBSCO Information Services, DynaMed, LLC and Yankee Book Peddler, Inc. dba GOBI Library Solutions. More detail about EBSCO's privacy practices, including its compliance with the Privacy Shield Framework, can be found in EBSCO's privacy policies available at ebsco.com.
