Transfers of Personal Data to the United States of America The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework was designed by the US Department of Commerce and the European Commission in support of transatlantic commerce, to provide companies on both sides of the Atlantic with a mechanism to comply with data protection requirements, when transferring personal data from the European Union to the United States. However, as of the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-311/18 (“Schrems II”), the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework is no longer suitable as a mechanism to ensure the lawfulness of transfers of Personal Data from the EU to the US. While we comply with and have adhered to the rules and principles within this Framework regarding the collection, use, disclosure and retention of personal data transferred from the EU to our companies in the United States, the primary mechanism we have always relied on to ensure the lawful transfer of personal data from the EU to the US (and to other non-EU jurisdictions) is the Standard Contractual Clauses, as approved by the European Commission. These were not invalidated by the mentioned decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union as a lawful transfer mechanism, and are incorporated into the data processing agreements we enter with our customers and suppliers, as well as the agreements between our affiliates, whenever necessary. We are monitoring the situation as it develops – with particular focus on the upcoming guidance to be issued by the European Data Protection Board around supplementary measures which may be put in place to address these sorts of transfers – and will update this information with any amendments needed to remain compliant. The specific Privacy Policies we have developed to help you to understand how personal data sent to the United States is handled are below. If there is any conflict between these policies and the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework’s rules and principles, these rules and principles will apply.
