Data may be processed by authorised persons and by service providers supporting email, website hosting, security or professional administration, acting as independent controllers or processors as appropriate. Where a provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, the transfer will be based on an adequacy decision or another safeguard permitted by Chapter V of the GDPR.
