We therefore restrict access to your Personal Information to those of our employees who need to know that information to provide products and services to you, including the Elavon Services. We have established physical, technical and administrative security processes that are commensurate with the sensitivity of the information collected to safeguard Personal Information. We have routine internal and external oversight practices in place to assess and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your information.
What Information We Disclose

- We will share your Personal Information with our marketing partners who will advise you of new products and services from Elavon to assist in the growth and development of your business.
- We will share your Personal Information where it is required to protect our interests, or someone else's interests. For example, our professional advisors in order to obtain advice in relation to our relationship with you or courts, independent auditors or law enforcement agencies. For example, in response to claims, to prevent fraud or during the course of an audit.
- Any person to whom we assign or sub-contract any of the rights or obligations under our agreement with you.
- If we or our Affiliates sell any part of our business and/or integrate it with another organisation (including by way of sale, merger, disposal or transfer of business), your Personal Information may be disclosed to our advisers and to prospective purchasers, investors or joint venture partners and their advisers, or obtaining financing for our business, or negotiations in accordance with that purpose.

When do we transfer your Personal Information overseas?
When data is transferred to countries outside of Ireland and the European Economic Area those countries may not offer an equivalent level of protection for Personal Information to the laws in Ireland.
If we do so we will put in place appropriate controls to ensure that Your Information is protected adequately, in particular through standard data protection model clauses adopted by the European Commission.
