This provision establishes the contractual and regulatory framework governing Pinterest's international data transfers. Standard Contractual Clauses create legally binding obligations between data exporter and importer, defining permissible uses and requiring specified data protection safeguards for transfers to third countries.
Users' personal data may be transferred internationally through Standard Contractual Clauses, which impose contractual obligations on data recipients regarding how data is processed, stored, and protected. This mechanism applies to users located in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK whose data flows to countries outside these regions.
