Does ESD Control Centre Limited share your personal data with a third party or country?

ESD Control Centre Limited may transfer your personal data to other ESD Control Centre Limited companies, but only if and to the extent, such transfer is strictly required for the purposes mentioned above. The other ESD Control Centre Limited companies act only upon our instructions and are contractually bound to act in compliance with applicable data protection law and to provide appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

If legally permitted to do so, ESD Control Centre Limited may transfer personal data to courts, law enforcement authorities, regulators or attorneys if necessary to comply with the law or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In connection with the operation of our websites and the services provided through our websites, ESD Control Centre Limited works with service providers (so-called data processors), such as hosting or IT maintenance, which only act upon instructions of ESD Control Centre Limited and are contractually bound to act in compliance with applicable data protection law and to provide appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

Recipients of personal data may possibly be located in countries outside of the European Union /European Economic Area (“third countries”), in which applicable laws do not offer the same level of data protection as the laws of your home country.

As far as such data transfers involve recipients in countries outside the European Union or outside the European Economic Area (“Third Countries”), we will ensure that the transfers will be made in compliance with the data protection provisions that restrict the transfer of personal data outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, and which require that appropriate safeguards are implemented to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

Such safeguards could either be an adequacy decision by which the European Union has deemed the country in which the recipient is located to have adequate data protection laws in place, or the execution of EU Standard Contractual Clauses (also known as EU Model Clauses) with the recipient, or the implementation of Binding Corporate Rules (“BCRs”) by the recipient, any other solution permissible at law.
