‍

Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party service providers to assist us in delivering and improving our services.

For service efficiency purposes, some of these affiliates and third parties are located in territories outside the European Union, like for example, the United States, and from time to time we may transfer your personal data to a third country not being approved by the European Commission as a safe country for such transfer (adequacy decision). Whenever applicable we will use the Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure an equivalent level of protection as granted within the European Union or other lawful grounds for carrying out said transfer.
