As a general rule, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL preserves personal data within the European Union.

Nevertheless, insofar as, for example, some of our service providers are located in countries outside the European Union (“Third Countries”), SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL could transfer some of the personal data in Third Countries. This may be the case towards Third Countries for which the European Commission has not taken a decision of “adequate protection.” In such a case, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL makes sure that this transfer is carried out in conformity with the applicable regulation and guarantees a sufficient level of protection for the private life and the fundamental rights of the people concerned (in particular by the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission).
