If we make such a transfer, we will, or our vendors will, as applicable, provide for the proper safeguards required by applicable law to ensure that your information is protected. More information on International Data Transfers information is below.

SWATrade is a global business. We may transfer the personal information we collect about you to recipients, and your personal information may be stored and processed, in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected, including the United States and elsewhere that may have less stringent data protection laws than the country in which you initially provided the information.
When we transfer your information to countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected, we will protect your information as described in this Policy or as otherwise disclosed to you at the time the data is collected (e.g., via program-specific privacy notice) and will comply with all applicable data protection laws in making such transfers.
If you are located in a non-US jurisdiction, the transfer of personal information is necessary to provide you with the requested information and/or to perform any requested service. To the extent permitted by law, such submission also constitutes your consent for the cross-border transfer.
