We may disclose your personal data to third parties, including those located outside the EU and EEA, provided that proper safeguards are put in place and the applicable local laws do not put your rights at risk.

We may share your personal data with other data processors and data controllers in accordance with provisions specified below.

Sharing data with data processors

There are many features necessary to provide you with our services that we cannot complete ourselves, and we seek help from third parties. We may grant some service providers access to your personal data, in whole or in part, to provide the necessary services.

Therefore, we may share and disclose your personal data to other data processors:

Stripe (Stripe Inc., USA): to process payments for the Company’s services. You may read its Privacy Policy here.

As part of our business operations, we may engage various specialists which may receive your personal data, including technical, sales, legal and marketing professionals, to provide you with better client service and ensure the accuracy and transparency of our business.

Collectively, these specialists and partner websites are referred to as Contractors.

We may transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) that are not deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection under Article 45 of GDPR (adequacy decision). In such cases, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are implemented in accordance with the GDPR to protect your personal data.

When we transfer your personal data to third parties, we always comply with the requirements of the GDPR. Where possible, we always enter into Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) with these third parties to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected. If a Contractor has an appropriate data processing agreement in place, we may join that agreement. If so, the Company and the Contractor may regulate the transfer of the personal data to such Contractor by means of such data processing agreement.

Transferring your personal data outside of the European Economic Area

We may transfer your personal data to third countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) under Article 46 of the GDPR with appropriate safeguards, including the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC).

We may need to transfer your personal data to countries outside the EU and EEA that do not meet the requirements of Article 45 of GDPR on the adequacy of data protection. In such cases, we will transfer your personal data to third countries under Article 46 of GDPR with the appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC).

We follow internal procedures when disclosing your personal data to countries outside the EU and EEA to ensure adequate safeguards for protecting your privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms.

We take additional technical and organizational measures when transferring data outside the EU and the EEA, such as assessing the reliability and personal data protection practices of the service provider, encrypting the transferred personal data, promptly responding to any threats to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal data, and conducting Transfer Impact Assessments (TIA) when necessary, etc.
