Where your personal data may be transferred outside of the EEA, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection, including by, for example, entering into data transfer agreements or by ensuring that third parties are certified under appropriate data protection schemes (in particular, we make use of Dropbox which is certified with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework).
