  • applying standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission;
  • applying binding corporate rules approved by the relevant supervisory authority.

The European Commission certifies that certain third countries have data protection comparable to the EEA standard based on a so-called “adequacy decision” (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decision can be downloaded from: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection_pl). However, sometimes personal data may be transferred to third countries within the meaning of the GDPR that are not included in the list above, such as Armenia, Belarus, Montenegro, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Serbia. Travel to countries outside the EU, will be able to involve the processing of personal data by that country.

In all cases of data transfer, the standards adopted by the European Commission contained in Article 46 of the GDPR apply.

Security of personal data

The controller conducts risk analysis on an ongoing basis to ensure that personal data is processed in a safe manner – ensuring, above all, that only authorized persons have access to the data and only to the extent necessary for the tasks they perform. The Controller shall ensure that all operations on personal data are recorded and performed only by authorized employees and associates.
