For example, our CRM (customer relationship management system) was chosen since the data is local and not transferred to a third party. However, some third-parties are outside of the European Union, thus we strive to provide similar protection, as much as possible, by carefully selecting providers with high standards (part of Privacy Shield in US for example).
