In such cases, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions other than the Philippines. pgplus takes the following measures to ensure that any cross-border transfer of personal data is conducted lawfully and with appropriate protections:
- pgplus transfers personal data outside the Philippines only to countries or organizations that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection, or under binding contractual safeguards that impose equivalent obligations on the recipient;
- All third-party service providers engaged by pgplus who receive personal data are required, by contract, to process that data only for the purposes pgplus specifies and to maintain security standards equivalent to those described in this Policy;
- pgplus does not transfer your personal data to jurisdictions that lack adequate legal frameworks for personal data protection without first implementing appropriate contractual or technical safeguards;
- Where applicable, pgplus complies with any notification or approval requirements of the National Privacy Commission in relation to cross-border data transfers.
