Docusign has adopted Binding Corporate Rules to facilitate the transfer of personal information from the European Economic Area and/or United Kingdom ("EEA") to Docusign outside of the EEA. Transfers outside the Docusign group are only made to organizations that agree to adhere to the standards in our Binding Corporate Rules or use another valid alternative (such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses) under data protection law.
