Your Personal Data may be processed outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Where Personal Data is transferred outside the EEA We will make sure your data is protected to the same extend as in the EEA. We will transfer Personal Data to a country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EEA, the adequate countries by decision of the EU Commission, or We will ensure that appropriate Standard Contractual Clauses are in place for those countries with privacy laws that do not have adequate protection. To obtain a copy of the relevant transfer mechanism or additional information about transfers, please send your request to Us using the contact information outlined in the Contact Us section below.
