We may allow your personal information to be shared with those who are in countries other than your own location. We do this:

Where these services are used by us, it is not practical for us to notify you of which country your personal information may be located in;
  • For disclosures between our group companies. Our main business locations are in Ireland but some of our group companies, branches and subsidiaries our based in other countries.
  • When our business which collected your personal information is in a different country to your location;
  • When our supply to you necessarily involves overseas disclosures. For example, information technology providers.
