Transfer of Data to Third Countries
For the aforementioned purposes, data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). These countries do not have a standard of data protection comparable to that in the EU (e.g., USA, China, or India). To protect your data, we will ensure that the transfer to non-EEA contractual partners is carried out based on standard EU contractual clauses for transferring personal data to third countries. If the transfer is not based on such clauses, we will ensure that the transfer is always based on another mechanism provided by law to protect your data.
You can consult the EU standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries at the following link:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_ro
Both Google and Hotjar have implemented their contractual clauses on transfers outside the EEA when necessary for the provision of the above services, which you can access as follows:
