Our data processors and sub-processors also handle your data on our behalf based on a data processing agreement.

The European Commission has so far recognised Andorra, Argentina, Canada (commercial organisations), Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay and the United States of America (limited to the Privacy Shield framework) as providing adequate protection.
It is expected that the European Commission will soon decide that Japan is also providing an adequate level of data protection.
In some circumstances we may transfer data outside the EU using model contracts, that the European Commission have decided offer sufficient safeguards on data protection for the data to be transferred internationally.
