The legal grounds are those that enable us to process your personal data lawfully and lawfully. There are different grounds or legal bases that allow us to process your data in a lawful and lawful manner:

  1. It may also be your consent if you have made a request to us via our website. This consent is given unequivocally when you provide us with your data on-line or off-line, this being considered a clear affirmative act that manifests this consent. The provision of the requested data is obligatory as it is essential to deal with your request; if you do not provide it, we will not be able to carry it out. You may withdraw this consent at any time by sending us an e-mail to that effect to info@stemgingereducation.com. This withdrawal means that we will not be able to provide you with the requested services or deal with your queries or requests.

 Do we make international transfers of your personal data?

An international data transfer occurs when personal data that are processed by a controller or processor in the European Economic Area (EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) are sent to a third country or international organisation outside the European Economic Area.

Our suppliers who may have access to personal data for the purpose of providing us with services ancillary to our business (hosting, housing, software as a service, remote backups, computer support or maintenance services, e-mail managers, sending e-mails and e-mail marketing, file transfer, etc.), have their data processing centres within the European Economic Area or in countries with the same level of adequacy as established by the European Commission and the European Data Protection Committee.

If suppliers are outside the European Economic Area and outside the list of countries with an adequate level of protection we will use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses (STCs) approved by the EU Commission.
