This can be done in a number of different ways, for instance:

  • The country to which we send the personal information may be approved by the relevant authority in the relevant jurisdiction in which it is collected or supplied such as the European Commission or the UK Information.
  • Commissioner’s Office or the relevant State or Federal authority in the USA.
  • For jurisdictions outside Europe, the recipient may have signed a contract based on “model contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission or under the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018), and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as it applies in the UK, obliging them to protect your personal information, or
  • Where the recipient is located in the US, it may be that there are State-specific or sector specific requirements. For example, California, Massachusetts, and Nevada have data protection regulation.

The Company will comply with any regulations applicable to the relevant data transfer.

  • Lodging a complaint with a relevant data protection authority, if you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us. However, we would encourage you to contact us using the details set out below first.
  • If you are based in the USA, there may be different state level requirements. For example:
    • If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 may permit you the right to request information regarding the disclosure of personal information about you by us to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
    • If you are a Nevada resident, Nevada residents may also have certain rights regarding the sale of personal information. Nevada residents may, for example, opt out of the future sale of their information to a third party so that they may license or sell that information. Importantly, these rights are not absolutely guaranteed and there are several exceptions where we may not have an obligation to fulfil your request.
