GOAT operates globally and transfers your personal data to the United States and other countries, which may not have the same privacy protections as your home country.
This analysis describes what GOAT's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
International data transfer provisions are operationally significant because they establish compliance mechanisms for cross-border data flows, which are subject to varying regulatory requirements across jurisdictions, particularly in the EU and other regions with restrictive data transfer laws. The provision determines what legal instruments GOAT relies on to legitimize such transfers.
EU and UK users' personal data is transferred to the US-based GOAT entity and to US-based advertising and analytics vendors, meaning it is subject to US government access authorities including FISA Section 702, which is a key concern under GDPR's cross-border transfer rules.
