"
Calm is based in the United States and has operations there and in other countries. As a result, we and our service providers process information in countries which may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. Where required by law, we provide adequate protection for the transfer of personal data in accordance with applicable law, such as by obtaining your consent, relying on the European Commission's adequacy decisions, or executing Standard Contractual Clauses.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

Calm relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and adequacy decisions for EEA/UK data transfers, consistent with GDPR Chapter V obligations. Compliance teams should verify that SCCs are current (European Commission 2021 SCCs), that transfer impact assessments have been conducted where required, and that the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) is used for UK transfers post-Brexit.
