Our privacy policy applies solely to information collected by Pro Bono Economics. Your data abroad We do not transfer or process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) unless either (i) we have your specific consent; (ii) the nature of the processing requires it (for example, because you have chosen to use an email or other communications service which routes data outside the EEA); (iii) we share your information with an international organization (in accordance with this privacy policy) that operates outside the EEA; or (iv) it is required by a data service that we use. In each case, we will ensure that the recipient of personal data outside the EEA provides safeguards deemed acceptable under the GDPR, for example, to a Privacy Shield company or under a contract using European Commission model clauses. The EU-US Privacy Shield is a program where participating U.S. companies are considered to have adequate data protection, and can therefore facilitate the transfer of EU data.
