International Data Transfers
Some cookies we use (e.g., third-party analytics or ad services) may result in the transfer of personal data to countries outside your jurisdiction, including to the United States or other countries where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
Where required by law (e.g. China, Japan, South Korea) we:
i. Obtain your explicit consent for such transfers.
ii. Implement safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or data transfer agreements to ensure adequate protection.
iii. Provide information about the recipient, data purpose, and retention period upon request.
