South Korea's PIPA requires specific disclosure of cross-border personal data transfers including named recipients, transferred data categories, purposes, and retention periods, and this provision satisfies that requirement through a structured table. The notice's instruction to close the account as the mechanism for disagreeing with overseas transfers establishes the practical consequence of non-consent.
Under this provision, Korean users' contact information is transferred to Marketo and Salesforce in the United States for communications and CRM purposes, and credit card and payment data is transferred to Paymentech in the United States for payment processing. The agreement states that users who do not consent to these transfers should close their AWS account, making overseas data transfer a condition of continued service use.
