International transfers of traveler personal data

When TravelClick shares personal data with its affiliates and third-party service providers who process personal data on behalf of TravelClick, this will involve transferring personal data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). When personal data is transferred to another country it will continue to receive adequate protection through contractual or other arrangements put in place with affiliates and third-party service providers. For these transfers at least one of the following appropriate safeguards will be implemented:

• Personal data will be transferred to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;
• Standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission which give personal data transferred the same protection it has in EEA; or
• With affiliates and third-party service providers based in the US, Privacy Shield gives personal data similar protection it has in EEA.

Further information on the appropriate safeguards used when transferring personal data outside the EEA can be requested by using the contact details found in the “Legal rights” section of this Privacy Notice. When requesting this information please make a reference to the transfer of personal data outside the EEA.
