Third country transfers
Overview and information about third country transfers when utilizing the services provided by Pagero
In the light of the CJEU ruling on the case referred to as “Schrems II”, most businesses must now assess their transfers of personal data to third countries, including the US. Pagero is a global provider of cloud-based solutions used by businesses to reach other businesses worldwide, and is therefore naturally affected by the implications of the ruling. Pagero’s business is built upon providing secure and compliant solutions for our customers, and we are continuously monitoring the legal landscape to be up to date. Here we have gathered some key information that may be useful when assessing your use of Pagero’s services in the light of the Schrems II case:
The Pagero Services
- The platform (Pagero Online) is hosted in Sweden but;
- If you have selected any additional service (such as for example print, scanning or data capture) the additional service may be provided by a provider based outside of the EU in accordance with the specific agreement. You can find the list of all such providers here. Please reach out to your sales rep if you are unsure of which services and providers apply to you.
- Depending on where your recipients of documents are located, the service itself may allow you to transfer information to any recipient in the world.
The Pagero company
Pagero is a global company with offices all over the world, which enables us to provide timely and efficient support to our customers as well as local project management.
