How we operate as a global business and transfer data internationally; and

Your personal information may be disclosed, transferred to or processed outside of your country of residence. If you are an individual in Australia this may include the United States of America, Germany, the Philippines and Brazil, where it will be subject to the laws of the country to which it is transferred. These jurisdictions may not have an equivalent level of data protection laws as those in your country.
EU/UK individuals – If you are an individual based in or a resident of the European Union or the United Kingdom, your personal information may be processed outside of the European Union, in countries such as the United States of America, Australia, Brazil and the Philippines that are subject to different standards of data protection.

Where we transfer your personal information outside of our group of companies or to third parties who help provide our services (an ‘onward transfer‘), we obtain contractual commitments from them to protect your personal information. Some of these assurances are well recognized certification schemes like the EU – US Privacy Shield [for the protection of personal information transferred from within the EU to the United States and/or the use of EU approached Standard Contractual Clauses (‘EU Model Clauses’) for controller to controller and /or controller to processor transfers from the EU /UK to jurisdictions, such as Australia, who do not have an adequacy finding from the EU Commission; and
Where we receive requests for information from law enforcement or regulators, we carefully validate these requests before any personal information is disclosed.
You have a right to contact us for more information about the safeguards we have put in place to ensure the adequate protection of your personal information when this is transferred as mentioned above.
Privacy Shield – 99designs complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States. 99designs has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles (“Principles”). If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Principles, insofar as the transfer of personal information from the EU and Switzerland to the US is concerned, the Principles shall govern. In the event of an onward transfer of personal information subject to the Principles, 99designs shall remain liable under the Principles if its agent or data processor processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless 99designs shows that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

We store most of your personal information electronically. We implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures, policies and procedures designed to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, misuse or interference or the unauthorised disclosure, access or modification to such information appropriate to the nature of the information concerned.
Measures we take include:
Placing confidentiality requirements on our staff members and service providers who have access to your personal information;
Destroying or permanently anonymising personal information if it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected;
Following strict security procedures in the access, storage and disclosure of your personal information to prevent unauthorised access to it;
Using secure communication transmission software (known as “secure sockets layer” or “SSL”) that encrypts all information you input on our website before it is sent to us.
