We have agreements in place with all our service providers that we share your data with that oblige them to protect your data.
Where your personal data is shared outside the EU, we ensure that your

Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission (SCCs).
For example, where we use US service providers, we either rely on SCCs or the EU-US Data Protection Framework, depending on the specific provider. You can request a copy of SCCs we have
concluded with our service providers by sending an email to the email address provided in this Privacy Policy.
