8. Storage and Processing

We are committed to the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in relation to the protection of personal data. However, in the course of our global operations, we may utilise third-party tools and services based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) for data processing purposes, including, but not limited to, countries such as the United States.

Please be advised that data protection and privacy laws in countries outside the EEA may not offer the same level of protection as those within the EEA. By providing your personal data to us, you consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of your data in countries outside the EEA, including but not limited to the United States.

We implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal data is protected in accordance with the standards outlined in this privacy policy and in compliance with legal requirements. These safeguards include the adoption of the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our organisation and third-party service providers and partners, who are obligated to maintain confidentiality.

In the event that we transfer your data to a third party situated in a country not acknowledged by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data, we will do so under a framework that ensures secure handling of your data, such as the aforementioned Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy, followed by your provision of personal data, indicates your agreement to such transfer.

For more information on the mechanisms employed to ensure the legal transfer of your data, please contact us using the contact details provided in Section 2 of this Privacy Policy.
