They will receive your personal data only on a ‘need­ to-know· basis, subject to confidentiality obligations and after signing appropriate legal agreements.

b.      Independent third parties

When needed, we may disclose your personal data to independent third parties, such as attorneys, public authorities, or third­ party auditors. In other situations, such as when using external shipment or payment providers, you will be involved in the process and, where relevant, offered choices regarding the transaction or payment method.

c.      Transfers of data from EU/EEA to third countries

If we share data from the EU/EEA with a company or ALK affiliate in a third country, we will apply contractual clauses that meet EU standards to ensure the receiving company handles personal data appropriately, unless the country where the company operates is already deemed by the EU to offer an adequate level of data protection. More information about such clauses is available here. If data transfers are required in other situations, we will inform you about the specific compliance reassures in place to enforce EU law.

If you require further information on our current data processors established outside the EEA and the safety measures in place to allow for the transfer of personal data, you can request it from us – please send your request to us/our Data Protection Officer.

Your personal data will be deleted when we no longer have an active consent to send you information about ALK products or services.
