If required for the purposes mentioned above, Swift may share your data with other offices in the Swift group (see the

In such case, the appointed third party service provider may only process your data on behalf of and under the written instructions and sole control of Swift. You acknowledge and agree that, where Swift shares data with other offices in the Swift group or sub-contracts part(s) of its data processing operations to a third party service provider, this may involve the transfer of your personal data to a country located outside the European Economic Area. Where such country does not offer a level of data protection considered as adequate under applicable the EU Data Protection Laws, Swift will ensure the lawfulness of such transfers by a legitimate data transfer agreement (i.e. the Model Contractual Clauses as adopted by the European Commission) or any other valid arrangement. For more information on these transfers, you can consult the Swift Privacy Officer at Privacy.Officer@swift.com.
