The clause operationalizes international data transfers by specifying the legal mechanisms Bluesky may employ when moving personal data across jurisdictions with different regulatory protections, thereby establishing compliance pathways for cross-border data flows that are subject to varying national data protection requirements.
Under this provision, users' personal information may be transferred internationally using contractual safeguards approved by relevant data protection authorities, rather than being restricted to jurisdictions deemed adequate under applicable law. The terms authorize Bluesky to process personal data across borders according to specified legal mechanisms.
