About our balance of interest assessment When we state above that we rely on our legitimate interests as a legal basis for our processing of personal data, we have made a so-called legitimate interest assessment. That is a balance of interest assessment through which we have determined that our legitimate interests for the processing outweigh your interests and rights not to have your personal data processed. Please contact us if you want more information on how we have made this assessment. Transfers of your personal data outside the European Economic Area Our sharing of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy may involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it. As a safeguard, we use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. In addition to this, we will implement requirements and safeguards that may be required by law. You may be entitled, in accordance with applicable law, to request a copy of relevant safeguards implemented. Please contact us at support@starmony.io for any questions in this regard. |
