International transfers

When your information leaves the UK, we make sure it is protected by one of the safeguards UK law recognises. These are either UK adequacy regulations, such as the UK–US data bridge for certified companies, or the ICO's approved contract clauses. You can email us to ask which safeguard applies to a particular provider.
