What it is

Synthesia may send your personal data to the United States or other countries outside the EU/UK, and they rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to make those transfers legally compliant.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you are an EU or UK user, your personal data — including any biometric data for avatar creation — may be processed in the United States, where privacy protections differ from EU standards; Synthesia relies on SCCs to legitimise these transfers.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

International transfers of EU/UK personal data carry ongoing legal risk following Schrems II, and SCCs must be accompanied by a Transfer Impact Assessment — gaps in this documentation can result in regulatory enforcement and data transfer suspension orders.

View original clause language

Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, including the United States. Where we transfer your data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)
