It is now proposed that the Code be published as a Best Practice document to allow Service Providers to signal their compliance with data protection regulations without taking the form of a ratified code. Since the last consultation, the documents have been simplified to meet the best practice statement as some elements required in the formal code are no longer necessary. It has also been proposed that the new CoCo be published as a REFEDS specification to ensure its long-term sustainability.
The new Code of Conduct is addressed to:
- Service Provider Organisations established in any of the Member States of the European Union and in any other countries belonging to the European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway).
- Service Provider Organisations established in any third country or International organization offering an adequate level of data protection in the terms of Article 45 of the GDPR or appropriate safeguards in the terms of the Article 46 of the GDPR can also subscribe to this Code of Conduct.
Overview
This consultation will be open from 12th November 2021 at 17:00 CET and will close on 10th December 2021 at 17:00 CET.
