Data collected from users within the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the EU/EEA, such as the United States, where Google and other service providers may be located.

We ensure that such transfers comply with legal requirements and that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data, such as entering into Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission with our service providers.
