Standard Contractual Clauses.

For third-country transfer outside the EU/EEA we also use the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU Commission as an adequate level of protection.

Data Processors.

We will only share or disclose Personal Data to the Processors identified here, which are contractually obligated to provide at least the same level of privacy protection required by the principles underlying the Privacy Shield. Furthermore, we will obligate any Processor to the specified, explicit and legitimate purposes consistent with your consent.

Remedial Measures.

If we learn Personal Data is not protected according to our contract, or is being processed beyond your consent, we will take reasonable steps to protect your information and/or cease its illegitimate processing.
