EXPORT OF INFORMATION OUTSIDE EU

Since Drift operates internationally, it may be necessary to transfer personal data to another company (such as partners and third-party service providers) in a country outside of the country where it was originally collected or outside of your country of residence or nationality.

Therefore it may be necessary that your personal data is transferred to servers located countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases Drift ensures a similar degree of data protection is in place by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• Personal data will only be transferred to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. See:  European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.
• For certain service providers, Drift uses specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. See  European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
• For providers based in the US, Drift may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US. See:  European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.
• With your express consent or as otherwise legally permitted by the applicable data protection laws.
