6. International Data Transfers

Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and the United Kingdom (UK).

  • Vendor Assessments: Before sharing personal information with third-party vendors, we assess their security practices to ensure they meet our standards.
