In this Section 4, we provide information about the circumstances in which your personal data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

 

The hosting facilities for our website are situated in Belgium, within the EEA. Our website is managed by Artlogic. Artlogic uses the latest cloud infrastructure to protect data.

Google’s model contract clauses and current contractual commitments for G Suite and Google Cloud Platform fully meet the requirements under the Data Protection Directive to legally frame transfers of personal data from the EU to the rest of the world. Apple uses approved Model Contractual Clauses for the international transfer of personal information collected in the European Economic Area and Switzerland. Personal information regarding individuals who reside in a member state of the European Economic Area and Switzerland is controlled by Apple Distribution International in Ireland, and processed on its behalf by Apple Inc. iCloud secures information by encrypting it when it's in transit and storing it in iCloud in an encrypted format using a minimum of 128-bit AES encryption.
