CPAexcel is Now Certified to Display EU Safe Harbor Seal

SEDONA, AZ, June 25, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Efficient Learning Systems, Inc., (ELS) the parent company of CPAexcel, is gratified to announce that the U.S. Department of Commerce has awarded its prestigious Safe Harbor certification to CPAexcel. This award is in recognition of the company's commitment to online privacy protection.

CPAexcel is a global provider of Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam study courses. The CPA Exam is one of the most rigorous of the professional examinations with the majority failing the exam. However, since 2004, over 87% of students using CPAexcel's CPA Exam review courses have passed the exam. This is nearly twice the national average!

A CPA is one of the most globally recognized certifications, which is why it is sought by accountants around the world.

However, there was a problem: the 27 nations of the European Union (EU) prohibit the transfer of personal data to a non-EU nation. CPAexcel is in the United States.

To correct this situation, CPAexcel worked tirelessly bring its online privacy protection policy into compliance with the European standard by applying the industry's best privacy practices. In fact, CPAexcel has extended the exacting standards of Safe Harbor to protect the personal data of every visitor to CPAexcel's site. This privacy policy allows CPAexcel to continue to conduct business safely in Europe and around the world.

In recognition of CPAexcel's having met the EU's standards and completing a rigorous certification process, the U.S. Department of Commerce awarded its EU-Safe Harbor certification mark to the company. In displaying this mark on their website, CPAexcel gives a very clear signal that they are committed to protecting the privacy of every visitor to their site and respects their visitors' privacy wishes.

European consumers can rest assured that any personal data they share with CPAexcel during their CPA study or CPA review will be held in the strictest confidence and will not be shared with any other entity.

CPAexcel joins a very select subset of Safe Harbor certified international businesses including, Amazon, KPMG, and Xerox.

Further, Safe Harbor requires U.S. businesses to provide an independent dispute resolution option to EU consumers. CPAexcel has selected the venerable Better Business Bureau (BBB). Since 2008, CPAexcel has been a BBB Accredited Business.
