When we transfer your data outside the EU or UK, we ensure that this is done in accordance with applicable data protection laws and that the protection of your data is adequately safeguarded. We do this, for example, by concluding agreements with third party service providers based on the EU or UK standard contractual clauses for the international transfer of personal data.
