If your personal data is collected within the EEA or United Kingdom and Switzerland and transferred to countries outside the EEA or United Kingdom and Switzerland in which applicable laws do not offer the same level of data protection, we ensure similar protection and put in place, for example, one of these safeguards:
• We will transfer your personal data to countries that have been found by the EEA or the United Kingdom to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
• We will also use standard contractual clauses approved by the EEA and/or United Kingdom, together with any supplementary measures required, with our partners and suppliers that are based in countries outside the EEA or United Kingdom and Switzerland and take measures to ensure that the our partners and suppliers provide an adequate level of data protection. These standard contractual clauses grant your personal data the same protection it has in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland (as appropriate).
