These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country.

Where we transfer personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to countries not deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or we rely on derogations applicable to specific situations (e.g., your explicit consent or the performance of a contract).
