Transfer of your data to third parties

Any transmission, transfer or sale of your data to a third party, who processes it for us or uses it for their own purposes, will be limited and conducted (i) for the purposes set out at section 3, in accordance with the applicable law and/or in the course of our business activities, (ii) if there is a legal obligation to do so, (iii) if it is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular those arising from the contractual relationship, which is of overriding interest to us, or (iv) if you have expressly consented to it.
We transmit the required data within these above-mentioned limits, as it follows:

Transfer to potential buyers and/or owners of a property;

In cases where personal data is transferred to countries that do not offer the same level of protection as within the European Union and you have not expressly agreed to the transfer of your data to those countries by way of your consent, we will ensure that certain contractual obligations under applicable data protection law (including the execution of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Union) are agreed with each service provider, unless we can invoke other legal grounds for the transfer of personal data.
