10. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?

We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the GDPR as follows.

Where we transfer your data to a third party based in the US, Angels Media Ltd provides the necessary safeguards, e.g. through the conclusion of data protection contracts adopted by the European Commission (e.g. standard data protection clauses (2010/87/EU, 2001/497/EC or 2004/915/EC)) with the recipients, or through other measures provided for by law.

Please contact us using the details below in Part 16 for further information about the particular data protection mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data to a third country.

The security of your personal data is essential to us, and to protect your data, we take a number of important measures, including the following:

• Secure Servers/database

• Websites on SSL (https).

• Server/database software upgrades

• Encrypted passwords

• All backups are performed in three stages:

• A) A dump is created locally where the container lives on our server.

• B) All data, including files such as dumps, code, images, and other assets are encrypted locally

• C) Encrypted files are sent to cloud-based servers within the EU which are an infrastructure made of multiple servers.
