Where we transfer your Personal Data to a third party outside the European Union and no legal basis applies, such as where we transfer the data to a company processing it to our instruction to enable us to provide our services, we will ensure that the required safeguards are in place for the transfer. These include (i) where the entity receiving the data is located in a country recognized by the European Union as having adequate safeguards in place; (ii) where the transfer is to the United States, where the recipient company participates in the EU-US Privacy Shield (see below);  or (iii) where we have entered into EU approved standard contractual clauses with the recipient to protect the data.

We try to strike a balance between the security of your data and your convenience.  As a result, we may sometimes use a method of communication that is less secure than a less convenient alternative.  For example, but not limitation, we may send you an e-mail or a text message in unencrypted form (i.e. instantly readable) because many of our customers are unable to access encrypted (i.e. coded) e-mail or messages. This means that our message if misrouted or intercepted could be read more easily than encrypted messages. Such messages may contain Personal Data.
