8. International transfers
SillyDino works with international markets and may use service providers, communication platforms, cloud tools, analytics tools, and business systems that operate in different countries. This means information may be processed or stored outside your country of residence.
Where required by applicable law, we aim to rely on appropriate safeguards, contractual protections, data processing terms, adequacy decisions, or other lawful transfer mechanisms used by our service providers.
