Transfers Abroad
In connection with the above, we might transfer your personal data outside the European
Economic Area by enabling remote access to your personal data by our service providers for
support services, including to a jurisdiction which is not recognised by the European
Commission as providing for an equivalent level of protection for personal data as is
provided for in the European Union. If and to the extent that we do so, we will ensure that
appropriate measures are in place to comply with our obligations under applicable law
governing such transfers. These may include entering into a contract governing the transfer
that contains the ‘standard contractual clauses’ approved for this purpose by the European
Commission. If you would like to receive further details of the measures that we have taken
in this regard, please contact [email protected].
Retention
We will not hold your personal data for longer than is necessary. We retain your personal

obligations under applicable law and, if relevant, to deal with any claim or dispute that might
arise between you and us.
