6. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

7. TRANSFERS OF DATA WITHIN THE ASEA FAMILY OF COMPANIES

We transfer Personal Data to other jurisdictions as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, including to jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as the jurisdiction in which your Personal Data was originally collected. For instance, we may transfer your data to the U.S. because our parent companies are located there.

When we transfer your Personal Data to other countries or jurisdictions, we will protect that data as described in this Privacy Notice and in accordance with applicable law. Where required under applicable law, we will put in place binding contractual obligations with the data recipient to safeguard your data protection rights. Furthermore, we will notify any data transfer and/or data transfer mechanisms to the competent Supervisory Authority where required under applicable law.

With respect to transfers originating from the European Economic Area ("EEA") to the United States and other non-EEA jurisdictions, we implement standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, and other appropriate solutions to address cross-border transfers as required or permitted by Articles 46 and 49 of the General Data Protection Regulation. Please contact the Privacy Team, if you have any questions with respect to the safeguards we have put in place to protect your Personal Data when we transfer this (including how to obtain a copy of or consult these safeguards).

8. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We protect your Personal Data and implement reasonable security including physical (e.g. secured filing cabinets), technical and organizational security measures appropriate to protect your Personal Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against any accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

We operate data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. We also use transport layer security (TLS) to protect the transmission of your Personal Data. Access to this information will be provided only to authorized individuals for legitimate business purpose.

In addition, access to your Personal Data is restricted to staff and service providers on a need-to-know basis.

While we endeavor to always protect our systems, sites, operations and information against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle and other risk factors, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others.

Please contact the Privacy Team (dataprotection@aseaglobal.org) if you have any questions about how we protect your Personal Data.
