Taiden Europe does not disclose or transfer Users’ Personal Data to third parties, except in the following limited and clearly defined circumstances:

Vital interests and public interest: where it is necessary to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Taiden Europe, its employees, Users, or the general public;

1.4. DOES TAIDEN EUROPE TRANSFER PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE THE EEA?

Certain service providers and technical infrastructure operators engaged by Taiden Europe are located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). This includes providers of cloud hosting services, analytics tools, and artificial intelligence solutions whose servers may be located in jurisdictions such as the United States, Ireland, or Israel.

In accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR, any international transfer of Personal Data outside the EEA is subject to an appropriate legal framework designed to ensure an adequate level of data protection, including:

Adequacy decisions (Article 45 GDPR): Where the European Commission has recognized that the recipient country ensures an adequate level of data protection. For example, Israel is currently subject to an adequacy decision.

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) (Article 46 GDPR): For transfers to countries not benefiting from an adequacy decision, Taiden Europe relies on the SCCs adopted by the European Commission. These clauses contractually bind the data importer to implement safeguards for the processing of Personal Data.

Supplementary technical and organizational measures: In accordance with the Schrems II judgment (CJEU, Case C-311/18) and the guidance of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), Taiden Europe implements additional safeguards where required. These may include:
Strict access controls and activity logging;
Prior transfer impact assessments (TIAs);
Internal procedures to monitor third-party access and security obligations.
EU–US Data Privacy Framework: Where Personal Data is transferred to the United States, Taiden Europe verifies whether the recipient is self-certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, as recognized by the European Commission in its adequacy decision dated 10 July 2023.

Further details about the safeguards applicable to specific transfers, including copies of the relevant SCCs, may be obtained upon request by contacting Taiden Europe at the address indicated in Section 1.

These include:

encryption of data in transit and at rest;

use of firewalls, anti-malware and intrusion detection systems;
secure data back-up and business continuity protocols;
regular updates and maintenance of software and infrastructure;
