For example, some personal information concerning you will be transferred to and processed by servers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), such as Singapore and Taiwan.
When we transfer your personal information to a country outside the EEA that is not considered by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection to your personal data we will only transfer your personal data after having executed standard contractual clauses providing for appropriate or suitable safeguards with the data importer. Upon request you can obtain a copy of the relevant standard contractual clauses from Loytec by sending an email to the email address mentioned in section 6 below.
