Where We Store Personal Data
There are circumstances in which we will have to transfer your Personal Data out of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) for the purposes of carrying out the Services. Sometimes it is because we are using sub processors based outside the EEA (see below). Where the need for such a transfer arises we will always ensure that there are appropriate safeguards in place to protect your Personal Data such as:
- the European Commission has issued a decision confirming that the country to which we transfer the Personal Data ensures an adequate level of protection for the data subjects’ rights and freedoms;
- appropriate safeguards are in place such as binding corporate rules (BCR), standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, an approved code of conduct or a certification mechanism;
- you have provided explicit consent to the proposed transfer after being informed of any potential risks; or
- the personal data is being transferred to a company in the US which has self-certified its compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield which has been found by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection to the Personal Data of EU citizens.
