en.Wedoany.com Reported - Aramex PJSC and ICT Legal Consulting International announced that the Dutch regulatory authority, Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, has approved Aramex Group's Binding Corporate Rules for Controllers, following a positive opinion from the European Data Protection Board. This marks a significant milestone in Aramex's global data protection governance project.
As a global logistics and transportation solutions provider headquartered in Dubai, UAE, Aramex operates through a network of subsidiaries worldwide. The approved BCR-C provides a GDPR-compliant framework for the international transfer of personal data within the group. This achievement reflects the company's ongoing commitment to accountability, transparency, and high standards of data protection across its global operations.
ICTLC International provided comprehensive assistance throughout the BCR process, including drafting and structuring BCR-C in compliance with GDPR and EDPB recommendations, developing specific intra-group agreements and identifying relevant privacy contact points within Aramex Group entities, as well as supporting the joint review and cooperation phase with the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
In its opinion adopted on July 8, 2025, the EDPB concluded that Aramex Group's draft BCR-C contains appropriate safeguards to ensure that the level of protection guaranteed by GDPR is not undermined when personal data is transferred to and processed by group members outside the European Union.
Aramex Group CEO Amadou Diallo commented that trust is the foundation of Aramex's operations across markets, borders, and communities, and the approval of the Binding Corporate Rules for Controllers reflects the maturity of the company's privacy program and its ongoing investment in responsible data practices. He stated that data protection is not only a compliance requirement but also a fundamental component of serving customers, supporting employees, and enabling global collaboration, and this milestone provides a solid and consistent foundation for responsibly managing personal data.
ICTLC International Founder and Managing Partner Paolo Balboni commented that Binding Corporate Rules remain one of the most robust GDPR tools for international data transfers, and this outcome reflects Aramex's commitment to maintaining very high standards of data protection governance in its global operations.
This achievement solidifies Aramex's position as a trusted global logistics provider, with its international intra-group data flows now secured under GDPR-recognized safeguards. It also highlights ICTLC International's expertise in supporting complex cross-border privacy compliance projects, including data transfer governance, BCR approval processes, and the implementation of global privacy and data protection frameworks. The ICTLC team was led by Founder and Managing Partner Paolo Balboni, with key support from Partner Martim Taborda Barata and Of Counsel Yazan AlMasri. They worked closely with the Aramex team led by Deputy General Counsel Farzana Hirani and Global Digital & Technology Strategy, Performance & GRC Director Caroline Evans.
