We may transfer personal data to the following countries which are located outside the European Economic Area as follows:

Some countries do not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom and European Economic Area. Whilst the European Commission has not given a formal decision that countries must provide an adequate level of data protection similar to those which apply in the United Kingdom and EEA, any transfer of your personal data will be subject to a EU-US and Swiss-US ‘Privacy Shield Framework’, as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce, regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union, theEEA, and Switzerland to the United States.  This isdesigned to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a misuse of your personal data.  Further details regarding Privacy Shield Frameworks can be accessed at www.privacyshield.gov
