3. International Data Transfers

As a global export company, your data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK (such as India and the United States). We ensure such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws by implementing appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and robust security measures.
