The Global Cooperation Arrangement for Privacy Enforcement (Global CAPE) is a practical multilateral mechanism for Privacy Enforcement Authorities (PEA) to cooperate in cross-border data protection and privacy enforcement. It does this by creating a framework under which Privacy Enforcement Authorities may, on a voluntary basis, share information and request and render assistance in certain ways.
The goals of the Global CAPE are to:
-
- Facilitate information sharing among participating Privacy Enforcement Authorities;
- Establish mechanisms to promote effective cross-border cooperation between participating Privacy Enforcement Authorities on the enforcement of Data Protection and Privacy Laws as well as Global CBPR Framework, including through referrals of matters and through parallel or joint investigations or enforcement actions; and
- Encourage information sharing and cooperation on data protection and privacy investigation and enforcement with privacy enforcement authorities not participating in the Global CAPE, including by ensuring the Global CAPE can work seamlessly with similar arrangements and networks.
- Facilitate information sharing among participating Privacy Enforcement Authorities;

The Global CAPE provides the basis for trusted and accountable cross-border flows of personal information under the Global CBPR and PRP Systems by facilitating cooperation between Privacy Enforcement Authorities. In order to expand the reach and utility of these Systems, the Global CBPR Forum intends to include other participating authorities in the future. The Global CBPR Forum always welcomes submission of letters of intent to participate in the Global CAPE from interested Privacy Enforcement Authorities.
The Global CAPE Administrator is designated by the Global Forum Assembly and receives applications for participation in the Global CAPE. If you are a PEA interested in participating in the Global CAPE, please contact the Administrator.
