    required to make under the relevant Data Protection Legislation, such a notification

    Legislation or the entity: (a) is part of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework; or
    (b) uses Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission. If the
    mechanism used by the Parties for the transfer of Personal Data to third countries
    should become invalid, the Parties will promptly put in place an alternative
    mechanism for the transfer of Personal Data to third countries. Ananas primarily

    year.
