  6. International transfers
    1. We share your data within Krystal Hosting including any of our subsidiary companies and on occasion with third party suppliers where required and listed specifically within our Glossary. This might involve transferring your data outside the United Kingdom (UK) / European Economic Area (EEA).
    2. Many of our external third parties are based outside the UK and/or European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK / EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK / EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
      1. We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
      2. 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.
    3. We ensure your personal data is protected by requiring all our third parties to follow the same rules when processing your personal data. These rules are either the SCC, as described later in this clause 6, or are "binding corporate rules".

    4. If, in the course of providing the Services, you are a Controller and we are your Processor in respect of any Personal Data, and the United Kingdom is or becomes a "third country" for the purpose of Chapter V of Regulation 2016/679, unless and until such time as the European Commission has decided that the United Kingdom ensures an adequate level of protection for the purposes of Chapter V of Regulation 2016/679, we and you shall, in respect of any transfer of Personal Data subject to Chapter V of Regulation 2016/679 which is neither on the basis of an adequacy decision nor subject to any of the permitted derogations set out in that Chapter V, enter automatically into the Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries (controller to processor transfers) approved by the European Commission by Commission Decision 2010/87/EU, currently available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32010D0087
    5. For the purposes of any Standard Contractual Clauses which we enter into with you by virtue of clause 6.3, we are the "data importer" and you are the "data exporter". We will Process the Personal Data only for the purpose of providing the Services. The Data Subjects are anyone whose Personal Data you include in the data you upload to the Services, most probably your staff or your users, or people linked with your users. The Personal Data transferred, including any special categories of data, are decided solely by you. You confirm that you will inform us prior to any data transfer if you feel that the jurisdiction the data is being transferred to is a jurisdiction where the data subjects' rights are not enforceable (where rights such as access, rectification and deletion are undermined) and effective legal remedies (particularly in case of access to data by public authorities in the recipient country) are not essentially equivalent. We will also keep this situation under regular review in order to ensure we only transfer data to countries where their laws that impose requirements to disclose personal data to public authorities are limited to what is necessary and proportionate in a democratic society.

    6. If, in the course of providing the Services, you are a Controller and you transfer Personal Data to us as a Controller, and the United Kingdom is or becomes a "third country" for the purpose of Chapter V of Regulation 2016/679, unless and until such time as the European Commission has decided that the United Kingdom ensures an adequate level of protection for the purposes of Chapter V of Regulation 2016/679, we and you shall, in respect of any transfer of Personal Data subject to Chapter V of Regulation 2016/679 which is neither on the basis of an adequacy decision nor subject to any of the permitted derogations set out in that Chapter V, enter automatically into the Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data from the Community to third countries (controller to controller transfers) annexed to the European Commission Decision 2004/915/EC (Set II), currently available at:https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32004D0915
    7. For the purposes of any Standard Contractual Clauses which we enter into with you by virtue of clause 6.4, we are the "data importer" and you are the "data exporter", and we both elect option (iii) (the data processing principles set forth in Annex A) for the purpose of clause II(h). We will Process the Personal Data only for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. The Data Subjects are anyone whose Personal Data is provided to us during account registration, most probably your staff. The Personal Data transferred concerns basic personal details, contact information, data related to your staff's internet connectivity (in the form of IP addresses) and, if you contract with us as an individual, your payment information. We do not collect any sensitive data. You confirm that you will inform us prior to any data transfer if you feel that the jurisdiction the data is being transferred to is a jurisdiction where the data subjects' rights are not enforceable (where rights such as access, rectification and deletion are undermined) and effective legal remedies (particularly in case of access to data by public authorities in the recipient country) are not essentially equivalent. We will also keep this situation under regular review in order to ensure we only transfer data to countries where their laws that impose requirements to disclose personal data to public authorities are limited to what is necessary and proportionate in a democratic society.

    8. Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK or EEA, see contact details for the Data Privacy Manager at section 1 of this Privacy Policy.

      We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

      To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

      By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for 6 years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

      In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see request erasure below for further information.

    10. The Data Processor may, at any time on not less than 30 days' notice, revise this clause 3 by replacing it with any applicable controller to processor standard clauses or similar terms forming part of an applicable certification scheme (which shall apply when replaced by attachment to this agreement).
