Transfer of Personal Data Between Countries

We may share the information we collect globally, both internally across our offices, and externally with our affiliates, subsidiaries, ministry partners, and service providers. Because we are global, with staff, donors, volunteers, and beneficiaries around the world, transfers are necessary for a variety of reasons, including so that we can provide disaster relief and operate other charitable programs worldwide. Depending on where you are located and how you interact with us, your personal data may need to be transferred from your country to the United States, from the United States to another country, or between two non-U.S. countries in order for us to carry out the purpose for which we collected your information. This means your personal data may be transferred to a country where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your country. When required, we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms for international data transfers.
