05International transfers
When you use ERPCV, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, including the United States, the European Union, and the United Arab Emirates, where our sub-processors operate.
For users in the EU/EEA and United Kingdom
Where personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA or UK to a country without a European Commission adequacy decision (such as the United States), we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) (and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum where applicable) executed with each sub-processor, supplemented by technical and organizational measures including encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest.
For users in India
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, personal data may be transferred outside India unless the country is on a restricted list issued by the Indian Government. As of the effective date of this policy, no such restrictions apply to our sub-processor locations.
For users in the UAE
Under Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (UAE PDPL), cross-border transfers are permitted to jurisdictions that ensure an adequate level of protection or under appropriate contractual safeguards. Our SCCs satisfy this requirement.
