The provision establishes the operational framework under which OpenSea processes personal data across international borders, relying on a specific European Commission-approved contractual safeguard rather than alternative transfer mechanisms. This approach structures the legal basis for cross-border data flows while acknowledging the absence of equivalent data protection regimes in destination countries.
Users located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland are subject to personal data transfers to jurisdictions outside their home regulatory framework. The terms apply Standard Contractual Clauses as the protective mechanism governing these transfers, meaning personal data processing continues under this contractual safeguard rather than domestic legal equivalence.
