    Your editing the policy twists the information somewhat. The full privacy statement actually reads...
    4.4 Transfer of Your Personal Data outside of the EEA
    From time to time, We may transfer Your Personal Data to a related company, agent or contractor in order to improve our Sprinkle Services or to assist our security, credit risk or fraud protection activities. Such companies may be located outside of the EEA and You consent to the transfer of Your Personal Data to such companies for the purposes set out here in accordance with this Statement and as permitted by the Data Protection Legislation from time to time.
    [Text removed by Forum Team]. Anyone concerned could read the Data Protection Act exemptions (Part IV:29) which clearly gives exemption to a company to do as this company transparently discloses under full adherence of the Act.

    To further prove my point here is a comparable privacy policy from SUPERDRUG
    We may need to transfer your personal data to a location outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), including to countries that do not offer the same level of protection with respect to personal data as required in the EEA, on a need-to-know basis for analysis and administrative purposes. By subscribing to and using our services, you acknowledge and consent to these potential transfers. We will ensure that we will place obligations on the recipient of the data to provide an adequate level of protection to the standard as required in the EEA.
    This policy from Sprinkle is coming across actually as an industry standard.

    and Shortlist
    How We Store and Process Your Information For technical, analytic and processing reasons only, information we collect may be transferred to, stored and processed by our service providers or other reputable third party organisations, some of which may be situated outside the European Economic Area "EEA". In addition, if you use our Services while you are outside the EEA, your information may be transferred outside the EEA in order to provide you with those Services. None of these third parties will have any right to use the information other than to provide technical, analytic or data processing services for us in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you agree to the collection, transfer, storage or processing of information about you for these purposes.
    ITV Service Providers Based Outside of Europe
    We use certain third party companies to perform some functions of the Services on our behalf (for example sending e-mails to you or analysing data that is collected from the Services) or to provide services to us. These third parties are only allowed access to your information needed to perform such functions or to provide such services. They are not allowed to use it for any other purpose. Some of these third party companies are either located and/or have servers which are located outside the European Economic Area. Where we share your information with such companies, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. However, please note that the data protection and other laws of such countries may not be as comprehensive as those in the European Economic Area.

    and even our beloved MSE
    7. Security Policy Keeping information about you secure is very important to us so we store and process your personal information in accordance with the high standards required under the Data Protection Act 1998. From time to time and for operational reasons the personal information we collect from you may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Your information may also be processed by some of our service providers who operate outside the EEA. Where this happens we will ensure that your personal information is kept securely and only processed in accordance with the requirements set out in the Data Protection Act 1998.
