For transfers to a third country where the level of protection has not been recognised as adequate by the FDPIC and the European Commission, we will rely on a derogation applicable to the specific situation (e.g. if the transfer is necessary for the performance of our contract with you) or we will implement one of the following safeguards to ensure the protection of your personal data:

We use appropriate technical and operational security measures to protect the personal data we store against manipulation, partial or complete loss and unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. encryption of data transmission, access controls, etc.). Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
We take appropriate precautions to protect your data. However, the transmission of information via the Internet and other electronic means always poses security risks and we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted in this way.
