10 Transfers

10.1 As a group with operations in Ireland, Austria, the United Kingdom and the United States, and given that the Internet is a global environment, using the Beyond Now site necessarily involves the transmission of personal data to recipients located outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"), including to Beyond Now LLC (USA) and to certain of our third-party service providers.

10.2 Where we transfer personal data outside the EEA, we do so on the basis of an applicable adequacy decision of the European Commission or, where no adequacy decision applies (including for transfers to Beyond Now LLC (USA)), on the basis of the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (or, for transfers from the United Kingdom, the UK’s International Data Transfer Addendum), together with any additional safeguards we consider necessary following a transfer risk assessment. Some of our third-party service providers may also be certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; we keep our reliance on that framework under review in light of ongoing legal and regulatory developments. You can request further information about, or a copy of, the safeguards we have put in place for a specific transfer by contacting us using the details in Section 12 (Contact Us) below.
