Binding Corporate Rules
Verizon maintains a list of the participants of its Binding Corporate Rules and their contacts details.
Introduction
The Binding Corporate Rules Processor and Controller Policies establish the approach taken by Verizon Business Group (“Verizon”) to the protection and management of personal information, in accordance with the GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, when it is transferred from the EU or UK to a third country.
The lead supervisory authority for Verizon's EU Binding Corporate Rules is the Irish Data Protection Commission. The UK Information Commissioner's Office is the supervisory authority for Verizon's UK Binding Corporate Rules.
International Transfers under BCRs
Guidelines from the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) require companies to assess whether transfers of personal data out of the EU are adequately protected in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation and to put in place such additional safeguards they consider necessary. Since then, the US administration has made certain changes to rules around US intelligence-gathering, primarily to support the EU/US Privacy Framework, and as a result international transfers to the US under Verizon’s Binding Corporate Rules and other adequacy mechanisms now benefit from those safeguards, which are contained in Executive Order 14086.
Following the EDPB guidelines, Verizon has reviewed its Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) and the transfers of personal data that are made under the protection of the BCRs. Verizon evaluates whether additional safeguards are required to protect the personal data when it is transferred out of the EU and UK under the BCRs by assessing the legal regimes in the countries to which it transfers personal data and by completing transfer impact assessments to quantify the risks of such transfers. Appropriate steps, such as additional safeguards set out by the EDPB or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), will be taken to minimize any identified risks.
Verizon’s EU BCRs are reviewed annually by the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) as part of the established review cycle. Verizon has acted on guidance from the DPC on changes to Verizon's EU BCRs to take account of the EDPB guidelines and the DPC has approved Verizon's updated EU BCRs, available below. In its role as the lead supervisory authority for Verizon’s EU BCRs, the DPC acts on behalf of the EU data protection authorities.
Verizon has obtained approval from the ICO to use UK Binding Corporate Rules for Controllers and Binding Corporate Rules for Processors, which are formed using the UK Addendum to the EU Binding Corporate Rules. The UK Binding Corporate Rules ensure the adequate protection of personal data when it is transferred out of the UK.
Verizon is satisfied that the BCRs meet the current requirements.

Binding Corporate Rules Processor Policy
The Binding Corporate Rules Processor Policies (“Policies”) establish the approach taken by Verizon to the protection and management of personal information1 globally when Verizon group members ("Group Members") process2 that information on behalf of a third party or another Group Member, and where such personal information originates from Europe (including the EEA and Switzerland) or the UK, except where your contract states otherwise.
The Policies are an appropriate safeguard, or adequacy mechanism, as set out in GDPR Article 46. They apply to all personal information originating from Europe and the UK when it is collected and processed as part of the regular business activities of Verizon in the course of providing services to a third party or to another Group Member (equally referred to as the "customer" in the Policies). Group Members and their employees must comply with and respect the Policies when collecting and processing personal information in their capacity as service providers.
Verizon has adopted UK Binding Corporate Rules formed using the UK Addendum to EU Binding Corporate Rules, and therefore transfers of UK-originating personal data are protected to the same standards as set out in Policies.The Policies do not replace any specific data protection requirements that might apply to a business area or function.

1 Personal information means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person in line with the definition of “personal data” in EU Regulation 2016/679 General Data Protection Regulation and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.
2 For the purposes of this Policy reference to the 'processing' of personal information is as defined in EU Regulation 2016/679 GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, and references to 'collection' 'use' and 'transfer' are all elements of the definition of processing.
Binding Corporate Rules Controller Policy
The Binding Corporate Rules Controller Policies (“Policies”) establish the approach taken by Verizon to the protection and management of personal information1globally by Verizon group members ("Group Members") when processing2 that information for their own purposes and where such personal information originates from Europe (including the EEA and Switzerland) or the UK.
The Policies are an appropriate safeguard, or adequacy mechanism, as set out in GDPR Article 46. They apply to all personal information that is processed in Europe and the UK (which means that it will also include personal information collected by Group Members outside Europe and sent to Group Members in Europe and the UK ) which is then transferred from Group Members within Europe and the UK to Group Members outside Europe. Group Members and their employees must comply with and respect the Policies when collecting and processing personal information for Verizon’s own purposes. The Policies apply to all such personal information processed by Verizon, for example (i) in the course of customer and supplier management, and (ii) which relates to employees and contractors.
Verizon has adopted UK Binding Corporate Rules formed using the UK Addendum to EU Binding Corporate Rules, and therefore transfers of UK-originating personal data are protected to the same standards as set out in Policies. The Policies do not replace any specific data protection requirements that might apply to a business area or function.
