International Transfers under the GDPR

When transferring data internationally we ensure that there is an adequacy decision in place which confirms that there is an adequate level of protection for personal data. We may also use data processors based in locations which are not yet subject to an adequacy decision, however where this is the case we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place so that enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects are available. This will usually be achieved through the careful selection of data processors which offer high levels of security for personal data and the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) which place binding legal obligations on the recipient to ensure the protection of personal data.

Security of Your Personal Data

The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us and Assuric uses industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access or disclosure. The nature of communications and information processing technology is that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Detailed Information on the Processing of Your Personal Data

We use data processors who are third parties who provide elements of services for us, including cloud based storage providers. We have contracts in place with our data processors. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information such as share it with other organisations unless we have instructed them to do it.
