For security reasons and to avoid any fraudulent request, we may ask for proof of identity in order to respond to a user’s request. This proof of identity will be destroyed once the request has been processed.
(6) Transfer of data outside the jurisdiction of the European Union
Since some of our partners are located outside the European Union, the data collected in these cases may be transferred to European Union non-member countries whose personal data protection legislation differs from that of the European Union. If the recipient countries do not provide an equivalent level of data protection to that in the European Union, AVALON Linguistic must undertake to obtain all appropriate guarantees, either based on an adequacy decision or, in the absence of such a decision, based on appropriate guarantees concluded by sending a copy of binding internal regulations, standard contractual clauses adopted, the code of conduct or the certification mechanism duly approved by the relevant authority.
