7. International Data Transfers
Personal information we collect may be stored and processed outside your country of residence, including in jurisdictions that may not offer equivalent data protection laws. In such cases, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or verification of privacy certifications, to ensure a level of protection equivalent to that required under the EU and US data protection frameworks.
