Onit Announces Safe Harbor Certification

HOUSTON — Onit, Inc., a leading provider of Enterprise Apps, today announced its certification of compliance with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework, effective as of Monday, April 27, 2015.

The framework, developed by the United States Department of Commerce in consultation with the European Union in 1998, is a streamlined process by which U.S. companies comply with the EU’s policy on the protection of personal data. As described in Onit’s Safe Harbor certification, Onit complies with the requirements of the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework with respect to certain personal information that is transferred from the European Economic Area to the United States.

“Onit is dedicated to delivering highly-regarded technology solutions alongside excellent customer service,” said Eric M. Elfman, CEO and founder of Onit. “This certification of compliance with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework is one more step to demonstrate our commitment to providing first-class data security to our clients by ensuring a stringent privacy policy for processing their personal information.”

Onit practices the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access and enforcement with respect to such personal information.
