Where this is not possible, we ensure that appropriate UK or European Standard Contractual Clauses are entered.
For data transfer between the USA we may rely on the Data Privacy Framework or the UK Extension Data Bridge. We regularly review suppliers for data security compliance to ensure your data is safe and track where your data is held.
All our processes are subject to various internal policies to ensure that your data privacy and security is upheld.
