When personal data is transferred to such territories not recognised under applicable law as offering an adequate level of data protection, we put in place appropriate data transfer mechanisms as required under applicable law (such as the EEA Standard Contractual Clauses or binding corporate rules) or rely on a lawful derogation applicable to the specific situation.
