The European Data Protection Authority (EDPB) and national supervisory authorities provide guidance and measures in this regard. Where possible, we rely on providers who provide appropriate safeguards (e.g. participation in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standardised contractual clauses). Nevertheless, risks may remain in third-country transfers; you have the right to request further information about the specific protective measures (see contact details). edpb.europa.eu+1
