Sharing Data with Third Parties​

​

Our service providers and suppliers

In order to make certain services available to you, we may need to share your personal data with some of our delivery service providers.

The Spotty Horse  only allows its service providers to handle your personal data when we have confirmed that they apply appropriate data protection and security controls.  We also impose contractual obligations on service providers relating to data protection and security, which mean they can only use your data to provide services to The Spotty Horse and to you, and for no other purposes.

International Transfers

 

To deliver products and services to you, it is sometimes necessary for The Spotty Horse to share your data outside of the European Economic Area. This will typically occur when service providers are located outside the EEA or if you are based outside the EEA. These transfers are subject to special rules under data protection laws.

​

If this happens, we will ensure that the transfer will be compliant with data protection law and all personal data will be secure. Our standard practice is to use ‘standard data protection clauses’ which have been approved by the European Commission for such transfers. Those clauses can be accessed here.
