INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the same levels of protection to your personal data, so European law has prohibited transfers of personal data outside of the EEA unless the transfer meets certain criteria.

Many of our third parties service providers are based outside of the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside of the EEA.

  2. Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection that it has in Europe.
  3. Where we use providers based in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

In addition, we may limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know such data.
