Dolphyn Hydrogen is an international organisation, with businesses inside and outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). Third party service providers who handle data on our behalf may be based in locations around the world. For these reasons, your personal data may be transferred to other countries both inside and outside of the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe; and/ or
  • Where we use third party providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they have adequate measure in place, which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
