• Using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, which provide specific data protection clauses designed to protect your personal data.
• Implementing binding corporate rules, where applicable.

By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside the EEA, provided that such transfers are conducted in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.
