Terminal may share your personal data with entities within our group, including those in countries outside the USA, such the UK and European Economic Area (the EU member states plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) (“EEA”).

We will also share your personal data with trusted third parties who provide us with services relevant to our provision of services to you. This includes our professional advisers, IT service providers, cloud software provider, and other suppliers and sub-contractors.

Where we transfer the personal data of UK or EU citizens to countries outside the UK or EEA, we will only do so where the country we are transferring to is recognised by the UK or the European Commission as providing adequate data protection standards, or other appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure protection of your personal data. Appropriate safeguards include the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (“IDTA”) or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) with supplementary measures (where appropriate).
