Transfer, Storage, and Processing of Data Abroad
As noted in the “Sharing your personal data” section of this Notice, as a globally operating company, we may share your information with our affiliate companies or third parties. Please refer to the “Sharing your personal data” section of this Notice for the recipients of your data and the reasons for our provision of your data to them.

Diverse encryption and identification layers protect your data from intrusion or disclosure to third parties during data transfer. Furthermore, we internally use sophisticated encoding methods in order to prevent de-coding by unauthorized persons. Moreover, an electronic identifier is generated during data transfer to safeguard your information.
