on a set of data protection principles and frequently asked questions (the "Safe
Harbor Principles") to enable U.S. companies to satisfy the requirement under European
Union law that adequate protection be given to personal information transferred
from the EU to the United States. The EEA also has recognized the U.S. Safe Harbor
as providing adequate data protection (OJ L 45, 15.2.2001, p.47). Consistent with
its commitment to protect personal privacy, OnlineBackupVault.com adheres to the
Safe Harbor Principles.
