What it is

Harvey has certified participation in the EU-U.S., UK, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks, and in the event of conflict between this policy and DPF Principles, the DPF Principles take precedence. The FTC holds enforcement jurisdiction over Harvey's DPF compliance commitments.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

DPF certification establishes the legal transfer mechanism for Personal Data flowing from the EU, UK, and Switzerland to Harvey's US servers, and the provision states that DPF Principles override conflicting policy language. This creates a defined enforcement pathway through the FTC for EU, UK, and Swiss data subjects with unresolved complaints.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this provision, EU, UK, and Swiss users whose Personal Data is transferred to Harvey's US infrastructure have the benefit of DPF Principles, which take precedence over this policy in case of conflict. The agreement also establishes a binding arbitration option for unresolved DPF complaints and commits Harvey to cooperate with EU DPAs, the ICO, and the FDPIC.
