Scottish Development International (SDI) operates internationally. We may share your personal information with our SDI field offices.

In some instances, this may involve transferring your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We ensure that your personal information is protected by requiring all our SDI offices and staff to follow the same rules when processing your personal information.

To provide the best services possible on an international scale, we may also share your personal information with our third-party partners outside the European Economic Area.

Where your personal information is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• we will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission
• where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission that give personal information the same protection it has in Europe
