International Transfers of Personal Data
Date: April 2026
NALA is an international business and your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence — including Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other countries where our service providers and partners operate.
Where such transfers take place, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place before the transfer occurs:
- Adequacy decisions — transfers to countries recognised by the relevant authority as providing an adequate level of data protection
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission for transfers from the EEA
- UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) — approved by the ICO for transfers from the United Kingdom
- Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs) conducted for transfers to high-risk destination countries
