"Storage and Processing— Excerpt from Afterpay's Afterpay Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Cross-border data transfers engage GDPR and UK GDPR adequacy and transfer mechanism requirements for affiliated entities processing EU and UK customer data, including the use of standard contractual clauses or binding corporate rules. For U.S. customers, cross-border transfers are primarily governed by contractual protections rather than statutory transfer restrictions, though state privacy laws may require disclosure of storage locations. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Afterpay operates internationally through its Clearpay affiliate in the UK and EU, making cross-border transfer compliance material. The adequacy of transfer mechanisms used for EU and UK customer data must be maintained following post-Schrems II requirements. For U.S. customers, the primary risk is the absence of statutory transfer protections. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK customer data transfers require valid transfer mechanisms under GDPR and UK GDPR. Australian customers, if any, are subject to the Australian Privacy Act's provisions on overseas disclosure. U.S. state privacy laws generally do not restrict cross-border transfers but may require disclosure. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Data processing agreements with cloud storage and processing vendors must include appropriate cross-border transfer provisions. Where data is transferred to processors in non-adequate countries, standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms must be in place. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: The transfer mechanisms used for international data flows should be audited for current adequacy, particularly following regulatory developments in EU-U.S. data transfer frameworks. Data localization requirements in specific jurisdictions should be assessed if they apply to any of Afterpay's markets.
