4.6.4 EEA Data and Global Data Transfers

As mentioned above, in order to provide our services, we may disclose your personal data to our contractors (Blocknow’s Affiliates, parent companies, and/or subsidiaries), who may be located both in the EU and outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA"). Therefore, in order to prevent such discrepancies from affecting your Personal Information, we seek to comply with the guarantees listed below:

the country to which we transfer your personal data has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;

a specific contract approved by the European Commission which gives safeguards to the processing of personal data, the so-called Standard Contractual Clauses.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, all the member states of the European Union have uniform protection of personal data and personal privacy. This also applies in the EEA countries. Personal data can thus be transmitted freely within this area without any restrictions (e.g., Germany, France).
