ST. PETERSBURG, FL — (Marketwire) — 12/21/12 — , the leading global provider of comprehensive talent acquisition solutions, today announced that Traci Canning, senior vice president and managing director for Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA), has earned European privacy certification from the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).

With its unparalleled global footprint, the company strives to remain at the forefront of information security and data privacy.

“In a complex privacy landscape, organizations need to be sure their data is well protected and handled by individuals with strong domain expertise and knowledge of all legal policies involving the transfer of personal data,” said Jack Freker, CEO of First Advantage. “Traci-s attainment of CIPP/E certification emphasizes the fact that we have the right resources in place to ensure compliance with privacy laws across the U.S. and the European Union.”
