Transfers outside Switzerland and the UK

Transfers outside Switzerland and the UK

Vernau operates from Pakistan, so personal data you send us is accessed from Pakistan. Pakistan is not covered by a Swiss or UK adequacy decision. Where a processor operates elsewhere, transfers rely on standard contractual clauses. [TO CONFIRM with your adviser: the safeguards you rely on, and whether a UK Article 27 representative is required.]
