    Data transfer outside the European Economic Area

    The personal data we collect is stored on servers in the USA. The data is stored in the USA by default, but we may need to process your personal data in another country. We also share some data with our service providers in Ukraine.

    There is no adequate decision by the European Commission regarding either the US or Ukraine. This means that the USA and Ukraine are not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal data. We use adopted Standard Contractual Clauses based on legislation assessments for data protection during transfer and storage.

    You can read more detailed measures to protect your personal data here and in our Data Processing Agreement.

    However, if a data transfer is required to perform a contract or provide you services, we have the right to do so without your consent.
