We store and process Personal Data on third party service providers’ servers (“Data Hosting Providers”) that we have evaluated to have state of the art security measures and that complies with applicable laws and restrictions. Such servers are located in the European Union and/or the United States of America. We have strict internal policies and guidelines to address privacy and security matters, (proactive and reactive risk management, security and privacy engineering and assessments). We take appropriate steps to address the risk of data loss and other possible risks represented by the processing and the nature of the data being protected. Also, we limit the access to our databases containing personal data only to authorised persons having a justified need to access such information.

International transfer of personal data

By using the Services, you give us your consent to store, process and transfer your Personal Data, that we have collected, outside of your country of residence to the countries where the Data Hosting Providers’ servers are located.

In such cases we ensure that there is a legal basis for such a transfer and that adequate protection for your personal data is provided as required by applicable law, for example, by using standard agreements approved by relevant authorities (where necessary) and by requiring the use of other appropriate technical and organisational information security measures.
