Some of these companies and service providers are located in countries other than the country in which the personal data was originally collected.  The laws of those countries may not have the same level of data protection as the country in which you initially provided the personal data.  When we transfer your personal data to other countries, we will protect that personal data as described in this Privacy Notice and in accordance with applicable law.
For personal data originating from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) that are transferred to countries that have not been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection, we have put in place contractual safeguards (based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for data transfers outside the EEA) or rely on an equivalent legal mechanism to ensure that your personal data remain protected. For more information on the safeguards we have put in place to protect your personal data when transferred outside the EEA (including how to obtain a copy or consult these safeguards), please contact us at PrivacyOffice@amway.com.
