Wix may transfer your personal data to the United States and other countries outside your home country, relying on Standard Contractual Clauses as the legal mechanism for cross-border data transfers from the EU.

International data transfers mean your personal information may be subject to legal frameworks offering different levels of protection than your home country, particularly relevant for EU users whose data is transferred to the US.
Interpretive note: Wix's current enrollment status in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the currency of its SCC modules could not be confirmed from the document text alone; compliance teams should verify directly with Wix.
Your personal data may be transferred to and stored in countries including the United States, where data protection standards may differ from those in your home jurisdiction, with Wix asserting Standard Contractual Clauses as the legal basis for such transfers.

"Since we operate globally, it may be necessary to transfer your personal information to countries outside of your home country, including to the United States and other countries where Wix or its subsidiaries, affiliates, and service providers maintain operations. We rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, to facilitate these transfers.— Excerpt from Wix's Wix Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages GDPR Chapter V (international transfers), in particular Articles 44-49 governing transfers to third countries. The Court of Justice of the EU's Schrems II ruling (2020) invalidated Privacy Shield and requires case-by-case assessment of SCCs supplemented by technical and organizational measures. The EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), established in 2023, provides an alternative transfer mechanism for DPF-certified entities. UK GDPR and the UK's International Data Transfer Agreements impose equivalent requirements post-Brexit. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Reliance on SCCs is a standard and legally recognized transfer mechanism, but the post-Schrems II requirement for Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs) means that blanket reliance on SCCs without documented TIAs creates regulatory exposure, particularly before EU data protection authorities. Organizations should confirm whether Wix has completed TIAs for key data destinations and whether Wix is enrolled in the EU-US DPF. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA users have the highest exposure, with national DPAs able to challenge transfer mechanisms. UK users are subject to UK GDPR transfer rules and the adequacy decision for the EU-UK bridge. Brazilian users are subject to LGPD Chapter IX on international transfers. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The Wix DPA should explicitly address the transfer mechanism used, the data destinations, and any supplementary measures applied. Procurement teams should verify whether Wix's SCC implementation is current and whether module selection (controller-to-processor, processor-to-processor) is appropriate for the specific data flows in use. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations with EU or UK user data processed by Wix should confirm that a current DPA with SCCs is executed, review Wix's TIA documentation if available, and monitor for changes to the EU-US DPF that could affect the transfer mechanism's validity.
