Is Mailchimp AVG proof?

We recently announced Mailchimp is on track to establish an EU data center and welcome new EU users to make choices about local data storage starting in 2022. We’ve been working to make foundational changes to our data infrastructure that will allow us to establish local data centers, including in the EU, for more than two years. As stated above, we expect to have at least one data center in the EU in 2022, with more to come. Scaling the infrastructure is highly complex, difficult work that we expect to take another two years or more to complete, so we’ll be sharing more details as we make further progress. 

Alongside this work, Mailchimp is currently pursuing ISO 27001/27701 certification by an external audit firm. ISO is the international gold standard certification to prove out an information security and privacy program. ISO 27001 is specific to an Information Security Management System (ISMS) and ISO 27701 is specific to a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). We’re on track to earn our ISO 27001 ISMS certification in October of this year, and ISO 27701 PIMS certification in 2022. Meeting ISO standards is no easy feat, and we hope that you’ll feel confident in our policies and practices, and view this certification as another reason to be proud to be a part of Mailchimp & Co.

We want to make sure you know how important our EU Mailchimp & Co community and customers are, and that we’re committed to serving you for the long term.
