Serbia is not an EU member state. For the processing of personal data we conclude a data processing agreement that sets out purpose, scope, rights of instruction and technical and organisational measures.
For data transfers to the non-EU country we use the current EU standard contractual clauses, supplemented by a description of the systems and access routes used.
Before signing, we agree the specific set-up with your company’s data protection officer: which data the team actually sees, which systems it uses and which additional measures are needed.
