"Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than the country in which you reside, including the United States and Israel. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. We take steps to ensure that your information receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it, including through the use of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.— Excerpt from Fiverr's Fiverr Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: International data transfers from the EU/EEA are governed by GDPR Chapter V, which restricts transfers to third countries without an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. The Court of Justice of the EU's Schrems II decision invalidated the Privacy Shield and imposed additional obligations on organizations relying on SCCs, including Transfer Impact Assessments where transfers go to jurisdictions with broad government surveillance powers. Israel holds an EU adequacy decision, which simplifies transfers to that jurisdiction, but transfers to the US require SCCs or other approved mechanisms. UK GDPR imposes parallel requirements for transfers out of the UK. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy's reliance on Standard Contractual Clauses for US transfers is a standard and legally recognized approach, but the Schrems II framework requires organizations to conduct and document Transfer Impact Assessments for each transfer, which adds operational compliance burden. The reference to Israel is notable given Israel's adequacy status, but organizations should confirm this remains current. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA and UK users face the highest exposure from this provision, as their data protections are most directly affected by cross-border transfers. Organizations in Germany, France, and the Netherlands, which have active supervisory authorities, face heightened scrutiny of transfer mechanisms. California-based users are less directly affected by this provision as CCPA does not impose equivalent transfer restrictions. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B customers and procurement teams should request copies of the SCCs or other transfer mechanisms in place, confirm that Transfer Impact Assessments have been conducted for US-bound transfers, and assess whether any supplementary technical measures (encryption in transit and at rest) are in place to support the SCC framework. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that Fiverr's Data Processing Agreement references the current EC-approved SCC modules (2021 version) and that the Transfer Impact Assessment documentation is available upon request. The adequacy status of Israel should be confirmed as current, and any changes to Fiverr's processing infrastructure that alter the countries of processing should trigger a review of this provision.
