In addition to the partners listed above, we may transfer certain personal information across geographical borders to Parentfax partners through the Worldwide Broker Network (WBN), authorized service providers or business partners in other countries working on our behalf in accordance with applicable law.

When we do, we use a variety of legal mechanisms to help ensure your rights and protections travel with your data:

We seek to cover applicable data transfers with agreements based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses, which contractually oblige each member to ensure that personal information receives an adequate and consistent level of protection wherever it resides within Parentfax;
-
where we transfer your personal information outside Parentfax or to third parties who help provide our products and services, we seek to obtain contractual commitments from them to protect your personal information. Some of these assurances are well recognized certification schemes like the EU – US Privacy Shield for the protection of personal information transferred from within the EU to the United States, or the standard contractual clauses; or
-
where we receive requests for information from law enforcement or regulators, we carefully validate these requests before any personal information are disclosed.

Your Rights Under GDPR
Subject to certain exemptions, and in some cases dependent upon the processing activity we are undertaking, you have certain rights in relation to your personal information.
We may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity and for security purposes, before disclosing the personal information requested to you. We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law, for instance if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
You can exercise your rights by contacting us. Subject to legal and other permissible considerations, we will make every reasonable effort to honor your request promptly or inform you if we require further information in order to fulfil your request.
We may not always be able to fully address your request, for example if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others, or if we are legally entitled to deal with the request in a different way.
