The European Union (EU) will adopt the same Data Protection safeguards as the United Kingdom. It’s by exception that data would be sent outside the EU.
If we send information to non-EU countries, this will be:
- with your consent
If we transfer your information beyond the EU, we will make sure that it’s protected in the same way as if it was being used in the EU.
To keep your information safe we will either:
- transfer it to a non-EU country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EU. You can find out more on the European Commission Justice website
- put in place a contract with the recipient that means they must protect it to the same standards as the EU. You can find out more information on the European Commission Justice website.
If we intend to make a transfer in response to a lawful and legitimate request we will normally tell you in advance unless there are compelling reasons, such as law enforcement or, reasons of safety which justify not doing so.
