INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS: APPLIES ONLY TO EEA PERSONAL DATA 

Some of our external third party services providers are also based outside of the EEA so their processing of your personal data will also involve transferring it outside of the EEA.

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries. 
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries 
  • Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield. 

  

For further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data outside of the EEA, please send your request to eu.service@captainfin.com. We will process any request in line with any local laws and our policies and procedures.
