TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA
Blazity transfers data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) only when it is necessary for the performance of services. Should it become necessary, Blazity will immediately inform each data subject.
Transferring users’ personal data to third parties will be governed by model contractual clauses, where both Blazity and its counterparties undertake to ensure appropriate level of security of users’ personal data. Prior to signing model contractual clauses, Blazity verifies each of its counterparties which would have access to users’ personal data and assesses whether the country to which users’ personal data would be transferred enables enforcement of rights and provides the users with effective legal remedies.
If the European Commission issues a decision in which it determines whether the relevant third country ensures the appropriate level of protection of personal data, then transferring users’ personal data to such country may also proceed on the basis of such decision.
- Newsletter
Blazity transfers personal data outside the EEA for the purpose of delivering the Newsletter to the Rocket Science Group LLC with its registered office in Atlanta, USA – the provider of the tool for sending e-mail message (Mailchimp), based on model contractual clauses.
The provider of Mailchimp declares that it complies with the conditions for compliance of data processing with the GDPR. For more information https://mailchimp.com/gdpr/.
The United States is not part of the European Economic Area, and therefore the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) do not apply to its territory. Nor has the United States been subject to a decision by the European Commission finding an adequate level of protection for personal data. This may result in increased risks in connection with the processing of User’s personal data by these entities, particularly due to the lack of a supervisory authority in the United States. You may file any complaints related to compliance with data protection regulations with the national supervisory authority for Blazity, i.e. the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection, ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland.
The transfer of User’s personal data to recipients in the United States is based on standard data protection clauses (model contractual clauses), which have been approved and adopted by the European Commission. Users may obtain a copy of the standard contractual clauses at address: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/.
