Transfer Your Personal Data is performed to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European Commission. 

Where We use certain service providers, We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give Personal Data the same protection it has in Europe. 

Where We use providers based in the USA, We may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to Personal Data shared between Europe and the USA.
