However, there are cases when such granting of access is necessary for the Company to ensure the proper provision of services, protection of its legitimate interests or such transfer of data is an obligation under the law. In this regard, in addition to the specific cases set forth above in this Privacy Policy, access to personal data processed by the Company will (may be) granted to the following categories of data recipients:

• the Company uses data processors who perform certain tasks or provide services to the Company and thus gain access to personal data processed by the Company (e.g., IT specialists providing services to the Company, data centers, hosting and cloud service providers, accounting companies).In each case, only as much data is provided to the data processor as is necessary to fulfill a specific order of the Company or to provide a specific service. Data processors employed by the Company may process personal data only in accordance with the Company’s instructions. In addition, they must ensure data security in accordance with applicable legislation and agreements with the Company;
• persons or legal entities with whom the Company has entered into an agreement, and such data transfer is in the Company’s legitimate interests, where the data subject’s right to privacy does not prevail (e.g., lawyers; consultants; Company partners and service providers who provide and maintain apps and/or Websites; auditors; postal companies; courier companies);
• state institutions in accordance with their competence, as well as other persons, insofar as such provision of data is established by the requirements of legal acts;
• courts and other bodies investigating disputes or conducting investigations, law enforcement institutions, insofar as such transfer of data is necessary for the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of the Company;
• the Creator’s data (name) as well as content created (including video material, photo, text), are transferred to the Brands, to whose task is applied by the Creator and/or whose task was executed by the Creator. Due to the fact that the content created by the Creator (including video and/or photo, text) transmitted to the Brand will be published on the Brand’s social network accounts or other sources accessible to an indefinite circle of persons, the Creator’s created content will become publicly available to an indefinite circle of persons;
• in case of reorganization of the Company, transfer of business and other similar cases, the data may be transferred to the successors in title, business acquirers;
• other persons and/or entities with the consent of the data subjects, if such consent is obtained in the specific case.

Please note that in all cases where personal data may be processed in countries where the level of personal data protection may be lower than in the European Union, the Company takes additional measures to achieve an adequate level of data protection: (i) data is transferred to countries where the European Commission has decided that they provide an adequate level of protection (Article 45 (1) of the GDPR), or (ii) the recipient is contracted in accordance with standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or the StateData Protection Inspectorate (Article 46 (2) (c), (d) of the GDPR), or (iii) this results in the separate consent of the data subject (Article 49 (1) (a) of the GDPR) or such transferred is based on another condition established in article 49 (1) of the GDPR.

Given the fact that the data of the Creator, including the created content, may be transferred to non-EEA Brand whose tasks are applied by the Creator himself, as well as the fact that the content created by the Creator(including video material, photo, text) transferred to the Brand will be published in public sources and such content will be made publicly available to an indefinite number of persons, including those operating/residing in non-EEA countries, such data transfer is based on Article 49 (1) (b) of the GDPR.

The safeguard measure implemented – a contract has been concluded in accordance with the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (Article 46 (2) (c) of the BDAR).
