These companies have signed the relevant confidentiality agreements and will only process your data in accordance with our instructions and will not use it for their own purposes or for purposes other than the service they provide to us.

We may disclose the data and any other information in our possession or accessible through our systems to the relevant public authorities if we are required to do so by law or if it is necessary, for example, to prevent or track the misuse of the services or fraudulent activity through our websites or web page.

Third party websites that you may access through links on the Websites have their own privacy policies over which we have no control.

  • ARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERRED TO THIRD COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE ECONOMIC AREA?

Some of our service providers are located in countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA“).

The location of these companies outside the EEA implies the existence of an international transfer of your personal data, which may result in a lower level of protection than that provided by European legislation. However, Handball.ai has taken steps to ensure that such transfers do not result in a lower level of protection for your personal data.

In this regard, service providers outside the EEA have a valid mechanism for making international transfers: (i) either they have signed the relevant European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCC“), an agreement signed by both parties whereby the non-EU company guarantees that it will apply European data protection standards; or (ii) if they are US companies, as an alternative to the SCCs, they may be certified by the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) compliance decision.

Therefore, using these service providers will not result in a lower level of protection for your personal data than using service providers located in the European Union.
