In the course of using Webflow, personal data of the website user is transferred to the United States and processed there. On July 10, 2023, the European Commission issued an implementing decision pursuant to Article 45(1) of the GDPR regarding the adequacy of the level of protection for personal data under the EU-US Privacy Shield framework. Based on this decision, data controllers can transfer personal data to certified companies and organizations in the United States without the need for appropriate safeguards, additional measures, or reliance on specific derogations.

Webflow is certified accordingly and is listed on this roster. For more information, please visit: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/.
