5. International transfers of data
Most of our providers are located in the European Union and, therefore, the processing of your data takes place within the European Economic Area (EEA). The only relevant exception is the following:
Google Analytics GA4 — transfer to the United States
Google Analytics GA4 is a service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (Ireland). However, Google LLC, headquartered in Mountain View, California (USA), acts as a sub-processor and may have access to data on US territory.
This transfer is covered by the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission (Implementing Decision 2021/914), and by the additional security measures implemented by Google in accordance with the recommendations of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB).
Important: Google Analytics GA4 is configured with IP anonymisation activated and data retention set to a maximum of 14 months. No data is shared with Google for its own advertising purposes if consent mode (Consent Mode v2) is correctly configured.
For more information on Google's international transfers, please visit: https://business.safety.google/gdpr/
The remaining providers (Stripe, Odoo, Zoneatlas Oy, Tiqets) operate from the European Union and do not carry out transfers of data outside the EEA in the context of the services provided to Explore Mallorca.
