Should such personal data transfer take place, we would only transfer it to a country providing an equivalent level of data protection in comparison with the European Union.

For example, some countries are considered as having a similar data protection legislation than in European countries (such ‘adequacy decisions’ are taken by the European Commission) or Standard Contractual Clauses drafted and approved by the European Commission (here) can be used to apply similar obligations on the company located outside of the EEA to process the personal data in a secure way.

Your information may be transferred to another entity of our group (i.e. as a result of reorganization, restructuring, etc.) or third party (i.e. as a result of sale, merger and/or acquisition, etc.) if part or whole of the business (or related assets) is either directly or indirectly transferred or falling under the control of the new owner.

The CCPA affords you specific rights regarding your personal data, including:
