Transfer of your Personal Data to third countries
Your personal data may be transferred to a country outside of EU/EEA such as Canada (commercial organizations), New Zealand, Switzerland, and US (limited to the Privacy Shield framework)] which offer similar level of protection as within the EU/EEA. The transfer is based on the legal basis outlined in How we process your personal data and is for the purpose outlined in How we process your personal data. The transfer to these countries is based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission.
Your personal data may be transferred to a country outside of EU/EEA such as Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, UAE, United States, Venezuela, which may have a lower level of protection than within the EU/EEA. The transfer is based on the legal basis outlined in How we process your personal data and is for the purpose outlined in How we process your personal data. When transferring personal data to these countries, TESA uses standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure a sufficient level of protection of your personal data.
