"Your Personal Data may be transferred to and stored by us in the United States and by our affiliates and third-parties listed in Section 6 above. Therefore, your Personal Data may be processed and stored outside your country or jurisdiction, including in places that are not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission or your local legislature or regulator, and that may not provide for the same level of data protection.
