Providing your personal data to third parties

In some circumstances, we may be required by law to share certain personal data, including yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or for compliance with legal obligations, a court order or the instructions of a government agency, to prevent the misuse of our proxies.
International transfer (outside EEA) of your personal data
We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the "EEA" consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). These are known as "third countries" and may have less stringent data protection laws than those in the EEA. This means that we take additional steps to ensure that your personal data is treated as securely and reliably as it is in the EEA.
We will only transfer your personal data to countries that, in the opinion of the European Commission, provide an adequate level of personal data protection. More information is available from the European Commission.
If the third country does not provide an adequate level of personal data protection, we will use specific contracts with external third parties approved by the European Commission (also known as Standard Contractual Clauses: SCC) for the transfer of personal data to third countries. The SCCs guarantee the same level of protection of personal data as would apply under the GDPR. In addition, additional measures are taken to protect your data from unauthorized access. More information is available from the European Commission.
Your rights
Some rights are complex and not all details are included here. Therefore, please read the relevant provisions and guidelines of supervisory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.
You may exercise your rights with respect to your personal data by notifying us in writing at [email protected]
We will respond to your request within one month of receiving your request. We normally aim to provide a full response within that time.

The right of rectification
You have the right to have inaccurate personal data about you corrected and, taking into account the purposes of processing, to have incomplete personal data about you completed.

The right to object to processing
You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for reasons relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you raise such an objection, we will stop processing the personal data unless we can demonstrate that there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or that the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
In addition, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you object, we will stop processing your personal data for this purpose.
