What it is

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.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.
