By using Adobe's services, you agree that your personal data can be transferred to the United States and other countries, including countries that may have less protective data privacy laws than your home country.
Your personal data will be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries where Adobe operates, which may include countries without GDPR-equivalent protections; EU/EEA users should review the EU DPA referenced in Section 2.3 to understand what safeguards apply.

Compare across platforms →This broad consent to international data transfers is particularly significant for EU/EEA and UK users, where GDPR and UK GDPR impose strict conditions on transferring personal data to third countries without adequate safeguards.
1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates GDPR Chapter V (Arts. 44-49) governing transfers of personal data to third countries, requiring either an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), or another approved transfer mechanism. UK GDPR imposes equivalent restrictions via the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA). The EU-US Data Privacy Framework (adequacy decision, July 2023) applies if Adobe is certified, but may be subject to future legal challenge (as were prior frameworks). CCPA/CPRA does not restrict cross-border transfers but requires disclosure. Enforcement: Irish DPC, ICO, European Data Protection Board. 2)
