5. Where is my data stored?
The personal data that we collect from you may be stored on a mix of Quintillion and various cloud provider platforms and may be transferred to, and stored outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside of the EEA who work for us, one of the Quintillion Businesses or for one of our suppliers. Where we do so, the third country’s data protection laws will have been approved as adequate by the European Commission or other applicable safeguards that are in
place. Where such transfers occur, we ensure the confidentiality and protection of all data is preserved through compliance with legal requirements and the current Data Protection legislation. This is managed by all Quintillion Businesses, including those outside of the EEA by entering into Data Transfer Agreements with each other, which all contain the model clause agreements approved by the relevant regulatory authority. Data encryption, integrity and confidentiality are enforced by following best practice. Quintillion also ensures that cryptographic controls are implemented following industry best practice, through the use of VPN tunnels, TLS and by
conducting regular testing.
