When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we do so, we will comply with applicable data protection laws, in particular by relying on an EU Commission adequacy decision, on contractual protections for the transfer of your Personal Data, on Binding Corporate Rules, or on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework.
