Where your personal data is processed

  1. Your personal data (as set out in Section 3) is mainly processed in France where we are based and the United States of America (US) by our corporate group and other companies (including data hosting providers). Occasionally, it may be necessary to transfer your personal data overseas in support of legal claims.
  2. The US has not been recognised by the European Commission as providing adequacy protections for personal data and transfers of personal data to the US for operational purposes are allowed using European Commission approved model contracts for the transfer of personal information to third countries (i.e. standard contractual clauses). For a copy of the standard contractual clauses, please contact us via the details provided in the Section 2 above.
  3. Our colleagues in Canada also have access to personal data. Canada’s local law (the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) has been deemed to provide an essentially equivalent or adequate level of data protection by the European Commission. Therefore when we transfer data to Canada, we rely on European Commission adequacy decision for Canada.
  4. Occasionally, either us or other companies we share data with may be required or permitted to disclose your personal data to overseas government authorities. Such disclosures will always be decided on detailed assessments of the necessity of the disclosure. Where the transfer is not necessary for a legal claim or to protect people’s vital interests or public interests, we may disclose your personal data in accordance with the standard contractual clauses.
