INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
It is sometimes necessary to share your personal information outside of the UK and the European Economic Area (the EEA), or it will be collected outside of the UK and the EEA. This will typically occur when service providers to our business are located outside the EEA or if you are based outside the EEA. These transfers are subject to special rules under applicable data protection laws.
The same applies to any transfer of personal information to another part of our group of companies based outside of the UK and the EEA. We also apply the same standards to any transfer of personal information between members of our group, regardless of the location of the group company.
If we transfer your personal information outside the UK and/or the EEA, we will ensure that the transfer complies with applicable data protection laws and that all personal information is secure. Our standard practice is to assess the rules and practices of the destination country and the relevant service provider, and the security measures to be taken regarding personal Information in the overseas location; alternatively, we use standard data protection/contractual clauses. This means that when a transfer such as this occurs, you can expect a similar level of protection for your personal information.
In limited circumstances, the people to whom we may disclose personal information may be located outside of the UK and/or the EEA, and we will not have an existing relationship with them, for example, a foreign police force outside of the UK and/or the EEA. In these cases, we will impose any legally required protections on the personal information before it is disclosed.
If you would like any more details about how we protect your personal information in relation to international transfers, please contact us at privacy@fitbaltics.com
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We are committed to keeping your personal information safe and secure, and so we have numerous security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of information under our control. We will always aim to use best-in-class security systems implemented across our networks and hardware to ensure access and information are protected. Our security measures include:
- Encryption of personal information where appropriate.
- Regular cybersecurity assessments of all service providers who may handle your personal information.
- Regular planning and assessments to ensure we are ready to respond to cybersecurity attacks and data security incidents.
- Regular penetration testing of systems.

- Regular training for our staff to ensure staff understand the appropriate use and processing of personal information.
- Where we engage third parties to process personal information on our behalf, they do so based on our written instructions, they are under a duty of confidentiality and are obliged to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of personal information.
