Transfers of Data outside the European Union


Your data may be transferred from an EEA country to a non-EEA country provided that the European Commission has recognised that country as providing an adequate legal level of Data protection with respect to European legislation (e.g. Switzerland, Canada).

Where Data is transferred to countries outside the EEA in which the legal level of Data protection has not been recognised as adequate (e.g. India, China, United States), Natixis will base its transfer:

    • Binding corporate rules applicable by our recipient service providers that guarantee the protection of your data,
  • or on one of the exemptions for specific transfer situations
    • The transfer of Data to the recipient bank is necessary in order to carry out an international payment (transfer necessary for the performance of a contract)
    • The transfer of Data to the authorities in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations (transfer necessary to safeguard the public interest).

To obtain a copy of these assurances or the location at which they can be obtained, you may contact our Data Protection Officer in the manner described under “How do you exercise your rights?”
