3. Overseas transfer of personal information

As a Japanese headquartered company, most of our IT systems are hosted in Japan and all the personal information held by the Company listed at Section 1 of the Global Privacy Policy is hosted in Japan.

We also transfer personal information to some third parties which host or access personal information outside of the EEA/UK. In the event such an organisation is in a country which is not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission or UK government or considered adequate as determined by applicable data protection laws, we take steps to ensure your personal information is adequately protected by the use of approved Standard Contractual Clauses, or by vendor's Processor Binding Corporate Rules, or by relying on such other data transfer mechanisms as available under applicable data protection laws

Where we have asked for your consent, you may withdraw consent at any time. If you ask to withdraw your consent to Stanley processing your data, this will not affect any processing which has already taken place at that time. When you exercise your rights, we will ask for information to check your identity; this will only involve official ID documents if this is necessary given the risk posed by the data processed.

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep.
