8. International Transfers

ZSD is headquartered in the United States, and we may process, store, and transfer personal information in the United States and other countries, which may have different data protection laws than those in your country of residence.

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs):

  We use European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses in our contracts with service providers and partners to ensure adequate protection for your data when transferred internationally.

• Data Transfer Impact Assessments:

  We conduct assessments of the level of protection provided in the countries where your data may be transferred to ensure adequate protection.

• Additional Technical Safeguards:

  We implement additional technical measures, including our zero-knowledge architecture and encryption, to protect data during international transfers.
