Where such cross-border transfers occur, phpvip5 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including:

• Transferring data only to countries or organizations that provide an adequate level of data protection as recognized by the NPC;
• Implementing contractual clauses in data processing agreements that require overseas recipients to apply data protection standards equivalent to those required under RA 10173;
• Obtaining your explicit consent for transfers where required by applicable law.

phpvip5 will not transfer your personal data to overseas recipients for purposes beyond those described in this Privacy Policy.
