If circumstances arise in which we have to transfer your personal data out of the European Economic Area for the purposes of carrying out the services we provide to you, 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, a copy of which can be obtained from us on request.
- You have provided explicit consent to the proposed transfer after being informed of any potential risks.
