Transfers outside Europe
Data protection legislation is harmonised throughout Mauritius and the European Economic Area ('EEA') which comprises the EU member states, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. Countries outside Mauritius and the EEA do not generally have the same level of protection for personal information as those within the EEA. Should you reside outside of the EEA, we shall transfer this information to your home country or territory, for the purposes set out in the "How we use it" section above. By providing us with your information, you give us reason to assume that you are in full agreement with this transfer. If you are from the EEA, we shall not transfer any personal information we collect from you outside the EEA and Mauritius.
