Please see ‘Who we share your personal information with’ for more detail on how the information may be shared with Yarn Loft offices and third-party service providers.

EU standard contractual clauses are in place between all Yarn Loft entities that share and process personal data. Where our third party service providers process personal data outside the EEA in the course of providing services to us, our written agreement with them will include appropriate measures, usually standard contractual clauses.
