Additional information

Will this data be transferred outside of the EU?

Yes. As of now your data is stored on secure Google Drive servers. The storage of this data abides by EU data protection laws.

The European Commission’s Data Protection Directive is an important piece of privacy legislation passed by the European Union (EU) in 1995. It restricts the movement of data from the EU to non-EU countries that do not meet the EU’s “adequacy” standard for privacy protection. Processing personal data strictly within the EU is one means of compliance with the Directive. Other means of compliance don’t require data location within the EU, such as the use of European Commission-approved model contract clauses.

Google Cloud Compliance

Do we use automated services for profiling you or making decisions?

Form submissions may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Do we collect data about you from other sources?

No, we only collect the data you specifically, actively and directly provide us with.
