Mechanisms we use for global data transfers

• We rely on decisions from the European Commission by which they recognise that certain countries and territories outside of the European Economic Area ensure an adequate level of protection for personal information. These decisions are referred to as “adequacy decisions.” In particular, we transfer information we collect from the European Economic Area to Argentina, Israel, New Zealand, Switzerland, the UK and, where the decision is applicable, Canada, based on the relevant adequecy decisions. Learn more about the adequacy decision for each country.
• Meta Platforms, Inc. has certified its participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. We rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the European Commission's related adequacy decision, for transfers of information to Meta Platforms, Inc. in the U.S. for the products and services specified in that certification. For more information, please review Meta Platforms, Inc.’s Data Privacy Framework Disclosure.
• In other situations, we rely on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (and the equivalent standard contractual clauses for the UK, where appropriate) or on derogations provided for under the applicable law to transfer information to a third country.
• In addition, please review the additional steps we take to transfer your information securely.
