Mercury GSE may transfer your personal information to countries outside of your own jurisdiction for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

When transferring your personal information internationally, we will ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations. These safeguards may include:

Binding Corporate Rules
Where applicable, we may implement binding corporate rules within our organization to facilitate the transfer of personal information across borders while maintaining a consistent level of data protection across our global operations.
Certifications and Frameworks
We may rely on recognized certification mechanisms or adherence to international frameworks such as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield or the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield to legitimize data transfers to countries that may not have data protection laws equivalent to those in your own jurisdiction.
Data Transfer Agreements
In some cases, we may obtain your explicit consent before transferring your personal information internationally. Your consent will be obtained in accordance with applicable legal requirements and will clearly outline the purposes of the data transfer and any associated risks.
Despite our efforts to ensure the security of your personal information during international transfers, it's important to note that laws and regulations regarding data protection may vary from one jurisdiction to another.
