Regardless of in which country your personal data is processed, Region Halland takes all reasonable legal, technical and organizational measures to ensure that the level of protection is the same as within the EU/EEA.

In cases where personal data is processed outside the EU/EEA, the level of protection is guaranteed either through a decision from the EU Commission that the country in question ensures an adequate level of protection or through the use of so-called appropriate safeguards. Examples of appropriate safeguards are standard contractual clauses or binding corporate rules. If you want to receive a copy of the safeguards that have been taken or information about where these have been made available, you are welcome to contact us.
