Some recipients of Personal Data may be located outside the EEA/UK and/or outside of the countries which you reside in (e.g., outside of Japan or the PRC) and these countries may not offer a level of protection equivalent to the one granted in your jurisdiction.
Where Personal Data of Website users from the EEA/UK is transferred to locations outside the EEA/UK, we will, as required by law, ensure that your privacy rights are adequately protected either because the respective country to which Personal Data are transferred has been recognized as proving an adequate level of protection by the competent body (Art. 45 GDPR) or the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards provided by entering into standard data protection clauses of the European Union or the UK equivalent with the recipient (Art. 46 GDPR) unless GDPR provides for an exception or you have given explicit consent (Art. 49 GDPR). In addition to this, we intend to, where necessary, agree on additional measures with recipients to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
If we transfer your Personal Data from the EEA to such a jurisdiction which has been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection, we will rely on adequacy decisions. When transferring Personal Data to recipients in the US we may rely on the DPF (EU-U.S. DPF / UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF) which ensures an adequate level of protection for recipients certified under the DPF. A list of the European Commission’s adequacy decisions can be found here. A list of the UK’s adequacy decisions can be found here.
Where we rely on standard data protection clauses of the European Union or the UK equivalent, insofar as the transfer is made to a service provider (including Affiliates acting as such) processing Personal Data on our behalf, Module Two (transfer from controllers to processors) of the standard contractual clauses or the UK equivalent is relevant; insofar as the transfer is made to recipients which do not process Personal Data on our behalf but for their own purposes, Module One (transfer from controllers to controllers) is relevant.
Where Personal Data of Website users from Japan is transferred to locations outside Japan, we will, as required by law, ensure that your privacy rights are adequately protected either because the respective country to which Personal Data are transferred has been recognized as proving an adequate level of protection by the competent body (Art. 28.1 APPI) or the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards provided by entering into an appropriate data processing agreement (Art. 28.1 APPI) APPI provides for an exception or you have given explicit consent (Art. 28.1 APPI). In addition to this, we intend to, where necessary, agree on additional measures with recipients to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
For Website users from PRC, with your consent and where your Personal Data is being transferred or shared outside of your country of residence, we will, as required by applicable law, put in place contractual and other measures to ensure your Personal Data is provided with protection that is at least comparable to that required under applicable law in your jurisdiction. If you require more details about our transfer activities, please contact us at [email protected].
Where Personal Data of Website users from Turkey is transferred to locations outside Turkey, we will, as required by law, ensure that your privacy rights are adequately protected either because the respective country to which Personal Data are transferred has been recognized as proving an adequate level of protection by the competent body (Art. (9) (1) DPL) or the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards (Art. (9) (4) DPL) or conditions for derogations for specific situations have been met (Art. (9) (6) DPL).
A copy of the standard data protection clauses of the European Union or the UK equivalent can be obtained by contacting [email protected]. Please also contact this email address if you would like to know which of the clauses apply to a specific transfer or for copies of other safeguards.

4. Do we transfer your data internationally (third country transfers)?
Some recipients of Personal Data may be located outside the EEA/UK and/or outside of the countries which you reside in (e.g. outside of Japan or PRC) and these countries may not offer a level of protection equivalent to the one granted in your jurisdiction.
Where Personal Data of social media users from the EEA/UK is transferred to locations outside the EEA/UK, we will, as required by law, ensure that your privacy rights are adequately protected either because the respective country to which Personal Data are transferred has been recognized as proving an adequate level of protection by the competent body (Art. 45 GDPR) or the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards provided by entering into standard data protection clauses of the European Union or the UK equivalent with the recipient (Art. 46 GDPR) unless GDPR provides for an exception or you have given explicit consent (Art. 49 GDPR). In addition to this, we intend to, where necessary, agree on additional measures with recipients to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
If we transfer your Personal Data from the EEA to such a jurisdiction which has been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection, we will rely on adequacy decisions. When transferring Personal Data to recipients in the US we may rely on the DPF (EU-U.S. DPF / UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF) which ensures an adequate level of protection for recipients certified under the DPF. A list of the European Commission’s adequacy decisions can be found here. A list of the UK’s adequacy decisions can be found here.
Where we rely on standard data protection clauses of the European Union or the UK equivalent, insofar as the transfer is made to a service provider (including Affiliates acting as such) processing Personal Data on our behalf, Module Two (transfer from controllers to processors) of the standard contractual clauses or the UK equivalent is relevant; insofar as the transfer is made to recipients which do not process Personal Data on our behalf but for their own purposes, Module One (transfer from controllers to controllers) is relevant.
Where Personal Data of social media users from Japan is transferred to locations outside Japan, we will, as required by law, ensure that your privacy rights are adequately protected either because the respective country to which Personal Data are transferred has been recognized as proving an adequate level of protection by the competent body (Art. 28.1 APPI) or the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards provided by entering into an appropriate data processing agreement (Art. 28.1 APPI) APPI provides for an exception or you have given explicit consent (Art. 28.1 APPI). In addition to this, we intend to, where necessary, agree on additional measures with recipients to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
For social media users from PRC, with your consent and where your Personal Data is being transferred or shared outside of your country of residence, we will, as required by applicable law, put in place contractual and other measures to ensure your Personal Data is provided with protection that is at least comparable to that required under applicable law in your jurisdiction. If you require more details about our transfer activities, please contact us at [email protected].
Where Personal Data of social media users from Turkey is transferred to locations outside Turkey, we will, as required by law, ensure that your privacy rights are adequately protected either because the respective country to which Personal Data are transferred has been recognized as proving an adequate level of protection by the competent body (Art. (9) (1) DPL) or the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards (Art. (9) (4) DPL) or conditions for derogations for specific situations have been met (Art. (9) (6) DPL).
A copy of the standard data protection clauses of the European Union or the UK equivalent can be obtained by contacting [email protected]. Please also contact this email address if you would like to know which of the clauses apply to a specific transfer or for copies of other safeguards.
