In certain situations, personal data may be shared with affiliated companies or third parties when necessary to fulfill legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations.

If data is transferred to jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to maintain compliance with global data protection standards. These measures include binding corporate agreements, data encryption, and adherence to internationally recognized privacy frameworks.

Data Security and Retention

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, or misuse of personal information. However, while security protocols are continuously updated, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
