  These recipients may be located in countries other than the country in which your Personal Data was originally collected, including countries outside the EEA that are not covered by an adequacy decision of the European Commission and are therefore not recognized as providing an adequate level of protection of Personal Data, including the United States of America. In any case, Fred’s will only transfer Personal Data to recipients that provide an adequate level of data protection or as permitted by Data Protection Laws by implementing appropriate safeguards, including, but not limited to, relevant data transfer agreements based on the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of data to third countries (Article 46, 2., (c) of the GDPR). A copy of these appropriate safeguards may be obtained fromdataprotection@freds.be.

  In any case, Fred’s will take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure an adequate protection of the Personal Data transmitted or disclosed in accordance with applicable law.

  The number of Fred’s employees who have access to the Personal Data is limited and they are carefully selected. These persons are authorised to obtain access to Personal Data to the extent such access is required in order for them to properly perform their tasks.
