While we strive to protect your personal information, please note that no data transmission over the internet or wireless network can be guaranteed 100% secure.

1.9 International Transfer

Sureka Subramaniam operates globally, necessitating the transfer of your information internationally. Your information may be transferred to and processed on servers located in Virginia, United States.

For instance, government authorities in the United States may access personal information in accordance with U.S. law.

If Sureka Subramaniam is deemed to transfer personal information outside of the EEA, we rely on the following legal bases to transfer your information:

Model Clauses: The European Commission has adopted standard contractual clauses (Model Clauses) that provide safeguards for personal information transferred outside of Europe. We often use these Model Clauses when transferring personal information outside of Europe. You can request a copy of our Model Clauses by emailing contact@surekasubramaniam.com.

Privacy Shield: Sureka Subramaniam does not currently participate in the Privacy Shield. However, we may rely on the EU-US Privacy Shield to transfer personal information to some third-party service providers in the United States who are certified under the Privacy Shield Program.

Necessary for the Performance of the Contract: Sureka Subramaniam provides a voluntary service, and if you choose to purchase and use our products, you must agree to our Terms of Sale.

Sureka Subramaniam will transfer your personal information to a third country only if adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data. We will comply with applicable data protection laws and implement appropriate measures, such as using standard contractual clauses or relying on the Privacy Shield framework, to ensure the security and confidentiality of your personal information during international transfers.
