Will data be transferred outside of the EEA?
Yes, but only in limited circumstances and all such transfers are protected by safeguards in place. You may specify which location you wish your data to be physically hosted. If requested to be physically held at a specific location, data will not be physically transferred to the other locations, although it may be accessed from another location in some circumstances (for example, Dotdigital support staff in the US who enable 24/5 support). As standard, UK and EU client data will be stored in the EU. US account data will be stored within the US, and APAC account data is stored within Australian data centres.

Do your contract terms with sub-processors provide similar or the same level of protection as the client Data Processing Agreement?
Yes, Dotdigital ensures that all third party sub-processors are subject to at least the same security and data protection obligations as Dotdigital. In addition, we will remain fully liable for any of our sub-processors actions during the course of their processing and we will only ever use reputable industry suppliers.
Does Dotdigital inform clients where a new third-party sub-processor is being engaged and can we object?
Yes, we would always notify clients at least 30 days in advance when we are planning on engaging a new external sub-processor. This is usually by way of an email to the email address provided by you on the Service Agreement. As a client, you will always be given 14 days to object to Dotdigital engaging a new sub-processor where you have any data protection concerns.
