• the transfer of your Personal Data is subject to appropriate safeguards, which may include binding corporate rules or standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission; or

• one of the derogations in the GDPR applies (including if you explicitly consent to the proposed transfer).

We currently transfer Personal data outside the EEA as some Personal Data is stored on cloud systems, the servers for which are based outside the EEA.
