Any such cross-border transfer of personal data is conducted only where ph653 has ensured that appropriate safeguards are in place, including data processing agreements with equivalent data protection obligations, consistent with NPC Circular No. 17-01 on cross-border data flow. ph653 does not transfer personal data to countries with inadequate data protection frameworks without implementing additional contractual safeguards.
