6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

 

6.1 Transfers between affiliates

The relevant Chevrons Bonds affiliate who is the Data Controller may make personal data available to other Chevrons Bonds affiliates and may transfer some or all of the personal data to Chevrons Bonds servers located worldwide in accordance with applicable law. 

The transfer of personal data from the EEA, UK and Switzerland to recipients located outside such territories is subject to restrictions. Chevrons Bonds has taken steps so that personal data receives an adequate level of data protection at all Chevrons Bonds locations. These steps include Chevrons Bonds affiliates entering into Inter Affiliate Agreements containing the EU “Standard Contractual Clauses”. 

The EU Standard Contractual Clauses have been approved by the European Commission and relevant European authorities as offering adequate protection for transfers of personal data outside the EEA, UK and Switzerland. 

6.2 Transfers to third parties

When transferring personal data, Chevrons Bonds puts in place safeguards to ensure that the recipient adequately protects the personal data. With respect to the transfer of personal data from the EEA, UK and Switzerland to outside such territories, Chevrons Bonds relies on (1.) EU “Standard Contractual Clauses”, (2.) contractual safeguards imposed on the recipient which is contracted by Chevrons Bonds affiliates outside of EEA, UK or Switzerland (so-called onward transfers), and (3.) protections available under local law for the recipient established in a country deemed adequate by the EU Commission. Where permitted, and as applicable, we will rely on the individual’s consent.
