It is important to note that these third-party recipients are generally situated in the European Union, the European Economic Area or in countries that offer an adequate level of protection equivalent to that offered within the European Union and the European Economic Area (e.g. Argentina, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, United-Kingdom).

 

When the third-party data recipients are located in a country or international organisation not offering an adequate level of protection (e.g., Australia, United States, etc.), we take necessary measures to safeguard Your data, in line with the conditions set forth in ESA PDP framework.

Additionally, we may utilise services provided by IT providers or integrate social media features into our platforms.

To protect Your personal data, ESA has implemented several technical and organisational measures against the risks of loss, unauthorised access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure of personal data, particularly when such risks concern sensitive personal data.

 

These measures take into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
