We strive to enhance the security of personal information you are entrusting us with. Therefore, Fearless Solution opts for the most secure and diligent data processors to do the task. Some of such processors are located overseas outside of the EU/EEA area in countries that have different regulations on personal information. However, our partners follow the requirements and safeguards of the GDPR when receiving and handling your personal information that Fearless Solution shares with them.For transfers of information to and from processors located in the UK, the European Commission adequacy decision has been adopted, meaning that data may flow freely from the EU/EEA to the UK and back since the EU considers the data protection regime in the UK essentially equivalent to the regime of the GDPR.For transfers of information into the EU from other countries covered by the European Commission adequacy decisions, such as Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Israel, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland and Uruguay, Fearless Solution is required to comply with the local legal requirements and regulations on transfers of personal data, therefore we make sure the specific arrangements are being followed when receiving data from any of the aforementioned countries.For transfers of information to processors located in the US, Fearless Solution no longer relies on processors that are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework because it has been invalidated in 2020 by the decision of the European Court of Justice.
