- International transfers. Where Applicable Data Protection Law in the European Economic Area (“EEA“), and/or its member states, United Kingdom and/or Switzerland (collectively for the purposes of this Addendum, the “EU‘), applies to the Personal Data (“EU Personal Data“), neither party shall process any EU Personal Data (nor permit any EU Personal Data to be processed) in a territory outside of the EU unless it has taken such measures as are necessary to ensure the transfer is in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Law. To the extent a Marketing Affiliate transfers EU Personal Data to RTI and RTI is located in a territory outside the EU that does not provide adequate protection for Personal Data (as determined by Applicable Data Protection Law), RTI agrees to abide by and process such EU Personal Data in accordance with the Standard Contractual Clauses for Controllers as approved by the European Commission and available at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32004D0915 (as amended, superseded or updated from time to time) (“Model Clauses“), which are incorporated by reference in, and form an integral part of, this Addendum. RTI agrees that it is a “data importer” and the Marketing Affiliate is the “data exporter” under the Model Clauses (notwithstanding that RTI may be an entity located outside of the EEA).
