Certification & data privacy

At Google the safeguarding and security of client data is of paramount importance, therefore they have security standards certified by official authorities. You can read more about their SAS 70 Type II certification, the US-EU and US-Swiss Safe Harbor agreements in the section of the Google Apps Trust-Website to answer questions, in the link below, about the implications of these security and data privacy mechanisms for your business.
