Where such transfers occur, vworld88 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that required under applicable data protection law.
Safeguards used for international transfers may include: Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by recognised data protection authorities; binding corporate rules applicable to affiliated group entities; or transfers to jurisdictions that have been determined to provide an adequate level of data protection by a competent authority.
