I work for an international corporation who does business globally. I know 
there are many privacy laws (including the EU Privacy directive) governing 
records and information, how the information is to be protected, whether 
it can be stored outside the country of origin and if it can be stored 
outside the country what protective actions must be in place. I know it is 
not easy and I believe in some cases impossible to bring information over 
the pond. 

We have servers for email and data storage in the appropriate 
international locations. I have been asked to do some research to 
determine if it was possible to move the data stores to the US. I have 
been reading information concerning Safe Harbor on www.export.gov and I 
have also searched the listserv for information as well as the Internet. 

In reading the material I have found, there appears to be a lot of 
information concerning protection of consumer information and Human 
Resources information but I cannot get a clear sense that if we apply for 
the safe harbor certificate whether we can really move our European data 
stores including email to the States.

I wonder what other international companies have done in this area. If 
anyone is storing their email and data in the States, what steps did your 
company have to follow in order to accomplish the task? Did you apply for 
the safe harbor certificate or were there other steps that you followed 
such as employing internal controls for accessing the data?

Any thoughts, guidance and information would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
