Transfer of your Personal Data outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA)
Some of the Carlsberg Group Entities and Third Parties with whom we share your Personal Data may be located in countries outside the EU and/or European Economic Area.
Where we transfer your Personal Data to Carlsberg Group Entities and Third Parties located outside the EU and the European Economic Area, we may be required to take specific additional measures to safeguard the relevant Personal Data. Certain countries outside the EU and the European Economic Area have been approved by the European Commission as providing essentially equivalent protections to EU and European Economic Area data protection laws and, therefore, no additional safeguards are required to transfer your Personal Data to these jurisdictions. In countries that have not had these approvals, we will use appropriate safeguards to protect any Personal Data that are being transferred, such as EU Commission-approved standard contractual clauses, or other, to ensure that your Personal Data is protected adequately.
How we protect your Personal Data
Keeping your Personal Data secure is a top priority. We adhere to internationally recognised security standards and store your Personal Data on secure servers. All Personal Data will be treated as confidential information by those who are allowed to process and use it. Furthermore, we limit access to your Personal Data only to those people who require it. We regularly perform internal audits and follow-ups in order to review whether our measures are appropriate and to ensure continued compliance with internationally recognised security standards and our policies.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of our websites or other platforms, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted to our websites – any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Consent
In certain limited circumstances, we may need to ask for your specific consent to use your Personal Data. However, in most cases we will process it for the reasons set out in this Privacy Notification and it will not be appropriate or necessary for you to provide consent.
If the legal basis for using your Personal Data is consent, you may at any time withdraw your consent by filling out this contact form or in any other way informing us about your wishes. If you choose to withdraw your consent, we may no longer use your Personal Data based on consent. The withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of use based on consent before its withdrawal. In some cases, we may continue using your Personal Data after withdrawal of your consent, if the law permits.

This might be due to obligations imposed upon us, such as other legislation requiring us to retain the Personal Data, protection of the rights and freedoms of others, or the like.
