If we do store data outside the EEA, Thermalume will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under GDPR including:

Ensuring all data storage providers within the U.S. either maintain a Privacy Shield certification from the U.S. Department of Commerce, which ensures that adequate safeguards are in place when personal data is transferred from the EU to the U.S., or comply to the requirements set out by the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework.

Ensuring all data storage providers outside of the EEA and U.S. hold suitable processes, procedures or certification for the secure storage and transfer of data between their member state and the United Kingdom.
