• Providers of technical services necessary for the operation of the website, hosting, maintenance, email or security, where they need access to the data to provide those services and act in accordance with the controller’s instructions.
• Public authorities, courts or other authorities where disclosure is required by law.

Where a provider processes personal data on behalf of the Board, the safeguards and agreements required by data protection legislation must be put in place.

7. International data transfers

Some technology services or external providers used on the Internet may be located outside the European Economic Area or may process data from third countries.

If the services used by this website involve international transfers of personal data, such transfers will only take place where there is a legal basis and the safeguards required under the GDPR are met, such as a European Commission adequacy decision or the applicable appropriate safeguards.

Whether such transfers take place will depend on the providers and services actually configured on the website.
