INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS 

EU and UK residents

Because we are based in the HONG KONG, we will also process your personal data in the HONG KONG. This will involve transferring your information to the HONG KONG.

In addition, a number of our service providers are based outside the UK and European Economic Area so their processing of our users’ personal data in connection with the services they provide to them will also involve a transfer of information outside the UK and EEA.

If you are based in the UK or European Union, please note that whenever we transfer your personal information out of the UK and EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of protection of personal data in non-EU countries.
• Where we use certain service providers based outside the UK and EEA, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK or by the European Commission (as applicable) which give personal information the same protection it has in Europe, namely the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for international data transfers, or the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses (as applicable). For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries and UK Information Commissioner’s Office: International data transfer agreement and guidance
• Where we use service providers based in the U.S., such as Google, we may transfer your personal data to them if they are part of the EU-U.S. and/or Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework which require them to provide similar protection to personal information shared between Europe and the U.S. For further details, see Data Privacy Framework .

When we transfer your personal information in and to a foreign country, these countries have different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as Canadian law. In these circumstances, the governments, courts, law enforcement, or regulatory agencies of that country may be able to obtain access to your personal information through the laws of the foreign country. Whenever we engage a service provider, we require that its privacy and security standards adhere to this Privacy Policy and applicable Canadian privacy legislation.
