7. APEC CBPR
• The Framework states that international implementation
of these principles may be achieved through Cross

• CBPRs are a set of voluntary rules developed by an
organization based upon the APEC Privacy Principles
• The organization then commits to apply these rules to its
activities involving transfers of personal information
across borders
