Transferring Personal Data outside the European Economic Area (EEA)

We may transfer the personal data we collect about you to the USA which is outside of the EEA in order to perform our contract with you. This may happen if you use Cloud software, or we choose to do so in performing our contract with you. This is due to some Cloud software providers holding their servers in the USA. There is an adequacy decision, made by the European Commission, in relation to the USA which entities can adopt in order that they are deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information for the purpose of the Data Protection Legislation. Where relevant, we have obtained written confirmation from the software providers, that they have in place equivalent security measures to those applicable in the EU and have ensured that our contract with the software providers contain E.U. model data protection clauses. Should you require further information about this please contact us using the contact details outlined below.
