  • Transfer of Personal Data

    In order to process your Personal Data, we provide access to our team and/or employees.

    Anonos will not disclose your Personal Data to third parties, unless it is necessary in the context of providing our products or services and/or optimizing them. To that end, Anonos may disclose your Personal Data to third parties who assist Anonos in the execution, management and control of its activities, including reporting, support, marketing, computer security or offering specific services and products. It may happen that a third party is commissioned to collect, process and/or analyze the data. We will make sure that we have entered the necessary data processing agreement with them.

    Consequently, Anonos will not sell, hire out or pass on your Personal Data to third parties, except in the situations provided for in this Privacy Notice or unless you explicitly provide prior consent.

    In addition, it is also possible that Anonos will disclose your Personal Data:

  Anonos may transfer Personal Data outside the EEA to the U.S., India and the Philippines. In the event we transfer Personal Data to our U.S. offices or team members located outside the EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. By agreeing to this Privacy Notice, you give your consent to have your Personal Data transferred outside the EEA in accordance with this article and pursuant to GDPR Article 49 (1) (a).

  Although you have given Anonos your consent to process your Personal Data outside the EEA, Anonos shall take all necessary, though appropriate, measures to ensure compliance with the GDPR and relevant jurisprudence from the European Court of Justice (CJEU). In particular, being a U.S. company, Anonos is subject to laws of the United States of America, including the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Amendment Act (FISA), Executive Order 12333, and the Cloud Act of 2018. As a result, risks arise from the fact that Personal Data related to your use of our website, portals or services will be transferred to the U.S., a country that, per the CJEU in the Schrems II-case, does not provide adequate protection equivalent to that under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

  In this context, Anonos takes into account a set of principles, called the Data Embassy Principles, to help address and mitigate certain issues arising from the Schrems II-case regarding data transfers outside the EEA, such as to the U.S. With regard to the secondary processing of your data, Anonos makes appropriate use of the Data Embassy Principles.

  For more information about these principles and data transfers, please refer to www.DataEmbassy.com.
