8. Data transfer
Your personal data shall not be transferred to third parties, except for the cases listed and explained in this privacy policy.
SIA Monetization Solutions may need to transfer your personal data to Monetization Solutions Inc to use the technology created and owned by the latter for providing you with our services. Monetization Solutions Inc may in return need to transfer your personal data to SIA Monetization Solutions for the same purposes. Both group companies have contractors and business partners outside the EU and the transfer of your personal data outside of the EU is thus necessary to carry out and perform our services to you.
Monetization Solutions Inc and SIA Monetization Solutions have in place the standard contractual clauses for cross-border data transfers and for personal data transfers outside of the EU. Such standard contractual clauses are in place between the group companies and between the third-party service providers and partners to facilitate your access to our services. Monetization Solutions Inc and SIA Monetization Solutions undertake to make sure that we only transfer your personal data to locations that ensure a similar degree of protection to the processing of personal data as under the GDPR. To meet this requirement, we will:
a. only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for the processing of personal data by the European Commission.
b. Use specific standard contractual clauses designed by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in the EU for certain service providers outside of the EU
c. Transfer data to third parties located in the US if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the EU and the US.
