Binding Corporate Rules

Marsh McLennan holds EU and UK Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) for the transfer of personal data from the European Economic Area and the UK respectively. BCRs are privacy standards approved by a supervisory authority for transfers of personal data within a corporate group. Marsh McLennan’s EU BCRs are approved by all supervisory authorities in the European Economic Area (with the Irish Data Protection Commission acting as the lead supervisory authority) and its UK BCRs are approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. Marsh McLennan holds both the EU and UK BCRs in Controller and Processor forms.

When making transfers of personal data to group companies outside the European Economic Area and the UK, we usually rely on Marsh McLennan’s BCRs.

The summaries below set of the principles established by the EU and UK Controller and Processor BCR standards:

The Marsh McLennan entities that have signed the EU and UK BCRs agreement are detailed in the lists below:
