4. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

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). We and our other group companies have offices in India, USA and Singapore. To facilitate our operations we may transfer, store, and process your information within those countries or with service providers based in Europe, India, Asia Pacific and North America. Laws in these countries may differ from the laws applicable to your Country of Residence. For example, information collected within the EEA may be transferred, stored, and processed outside of the EEA for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Where we transfer store, and process your personal information outside of the EEA we have ensured that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

Transfers to our affiliated entities, to our service providers and other third parties will be protected by appropriate safeguards, namely the use of standard data protection clauses adopted or approved by the European Commission or applicable certification schemes.

5. YOUR RIGHTS WITH REGARD TO PERSONAL DATA

In this Section 5, we have summarized the rights that you have under data protection law based on whether you are a EEAresident (a EEA Resident) or you are not a resident of the EEA (a Non- EEA Resident).
