We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe (called the “EU Model Clauses”).
Where we use providers based in the United States of America (the “US”), we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US. If the provider is not EU-US Privacy Shield certified, we may use the EU Model Clauses.

Occasional and necessary transfers

We may occasionally transfer your personal information outside the EEA and the UK if it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or if the transfer is necessary either for the performance of a contract we have with you, or for the performance of a contract we have with a third party if that contract is in your interests.
