Transfers outside the European Economic Area

In certain instances, cookie data (Cookie ID, I.P. Browser History, Language, Device Type and/or Geo Location) may be transferred, stored, or processed in countries outside the European Economic Area, where the laws of such countries do not afford an equivalent level of protection of personal information as the laws of Ireland. Where this is the case, we will take specific steps in accordance with data protection law to protect your personal information.

 

We will use one of these safeguards:

  • Transfer to a non-EEA country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the
  • Put in place a contract (in a form that is approved by the European Commission) with the recipient of the personal information that means they must protect it to the same standards as the EEA.
  • Transfers to organisations that are part of an EU Framework that sets privacy standards for data sent between countries. These frameworks make sure those standards are similar to what is used within the EEA.
