Privacy white paper
The Outreach Data Protection Office executes a robust system of controls to ensure the protection of individual data subject rights. Our privacy white paper provides a holistic view of the privacy program at Outreach.
Transfer impact assessment
Outreach has prepared a data transfer impact assessment (TIA) in accordance with the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries approved pursuant to Commission Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021 (SCCs). Under the SCCs, the data importer and data exporter each have a responsibility to conduct a TIA. While not required to do so, Outreach makes available to customers its TIA for the purpose of providing relevant information for customers to carry out their own TIAs.
