For the purposes mentioned in section 6 of this Privacy Policy we disclose, transfer or otherwise share your personal data with other entities of the 海角社区 Group to the extent described in section 5 or as agreed by you in a specific context (e.g., where you consent to other types of data transfers in connection with enrolling for a specific service). For a full list of 海角社区 entities, see section 2. Whenever sharing personal data, we strictly comply with applicable law.
We may share personal data with companies, organizations or individuals outside of the 海角社区 Group as follows (subject to your prior consent where required under applicable law):
Service Providers: We provide your personal data to our third-party service providers to provide, support, and improve our products and services, including our technical infrastructure. These companies provide services like data hosting, webpage development and related maintenance tools, webpage configuration and parameterization, webpage related form creation, shipping carriers, CRM, CMP, customer feedback collection tools, qualitative research, authentication systems, fraud detection, and customer support. Each service provider only has access to such personal data needed to perform its specific tasks, and only to perform these. We ensure that appropriate contractual measures are in place with each service provider binding them to adequate security and confidentiality obligations, as required by applicable data protection law.
Advertising, Marketing, and Analytics Partners: 海角社区 uses third-party advertising, marketing, and analytics technologies, including ones that support our advertising and marketing efforts (e.g., advertising networks, advertising measurement services and analytics providers, remarketing providers, etc.) to: provide statistics and analysis about how people are using 海角社区 products and services, including our websites, and deliver you advertising on our websites and other websites you visit, including targeted content. These third-party partners may receive information about you or about your activities on our website directly from us or through third-party cookies placed on the 海角社区 website, respectively (see section 10).
Payment Processors: When you make a payment for 海角社区 products or services, we disclose payment details to the third-party payment processor selected by you.

Your Employer or Organization: When you create an account with an email address assigned to you as an employee, contractor, or member of an organization (e.g., yourname@youremployer.com), that organization can find your account and take certain actions regarding its settings and permissions.
Corporate Transactions: We may share your personal data with actual or prospective acquirers, their representatives, and other relevant participants in the event of, or as part of the due diligence for, any proposed or actual reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or change in control involving all or a portion of 海角社区鈥檚 business or assets, including in connection with bankruptcy or similar proceedings.

Should we decide to disclose personal data in such context we will also consider ways of reducing the scope of the disclosure, for instance by redacting the personal data provided to the extent possible to comply with the request. We may disclose personal data to legal advisors as required to represent or advise 海角社区.

听
5.听听听听听听 Will personal data be transferred abroad and if so, how will it be protected?
听
海角社区鈥檚 data storage locations are selected to enable efficient operation, improve performance, and create redundancies to protect data in the event of an outage or other problem. We take steps to ensure that the data we collect under this Privacy Policy is processed according to its provisions and the requirements of applicable law wherever the data is located.
It is 海角社区鈥檚 policy to store your personal data only in countries in which the applicable data protection law provides the same level of data protection as in the EU/EEA. However, due to certain business operations, technical limitations, or other circumstances, we may process your personal data outside of the country where you are located. In these cases, the following applies:
听
Adequacy decisions: Some recipients located outside of the EEA are in a country for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision. In such case, the transfer is thereby recognized as being subject to an adequate level of data protection from a European data protection law perspective (Art. 45 GDPR) and thus no further mechanisms are required to protect your personal data.
听
Other transfer mechanisms: Other recipients of your personal data are in a country for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision. In these cases, the following applies:
(a)听听 For internal transfers between 海角社区 Group entities: 海角社区 has adopted Binding Corporate Rules (鈥淏CR鈥) to facilitate the safe and compliant transfer of personal data between 海角社区 Group entities. Therefore, we may rely on the 海角社区 BCR as a safe method for data transfers as referred to in Art. 47 GDPR.
In addition to the 海角社区 BCR, 海角社区 has also concluded the Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries of June 4, 2021 between all 海角社区 Group entities, to ensure a compliant transfer of personal data where the 海角社区 BCR would not be considered as a valid mechanism.
听
(b)听听 For external transfers outside of 海角社区 Group: By way of entering into appropriate data transfer agreements based on Standard Contractual Clauses as referred to in Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR or other adequate means, which are accessible via the contact details provided in section 1 of this Privacy Policy, we have established that all recipients located outside the EEA will provide an adequate level of data protection for personal data and that appropriate technical and organizational security measures are in place to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against all other unlawful forms of processing. Any onward transfer (including to our affiliates outside the EEA) is subject to appropriate onward transfer requirements in accordance with applicable law.
听
Lastly, in exceptional circumstances, 海角社区 may rely on the derogation that the transfer of your personal data is (1) necessary for the performance of a contract between you and 海角社区; or (2) necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims in accordance with Articles 49(1)(b) & (e) GDPR respectively and the corresponding provisions under local law.
海角社区 has implemented Technical and Organizational Measures which set forth the technical and organizational security measures and procedures 海角社区 undertakes, at a minimum, to maintain and protect the security of personal data processed, including data in transit. 海角社区鈥檚 Cyber and IT Security Policy is developed in accordance with the ISO 27001 standard.
