Personal Data Transfers
ThoughtRiver may transfer personal data outside of the EU and UK where this is necessary in order to provide the services to you (details of which can be found in our DPA).
ThoughtRiver currently instructs only one sub-processor outside of the UK and EU: Twilio Inc.
Twilio provide the SendGrid service which acts as the password reset function for users on the ThoughtRiver platform. When a user requests a password reset, the user’s name and email address will be sent to Twilio for the purposes of resetting the user’s password.
Adequate Safeguards
While transfers from customers to ThoughtRiver are covered by the adequacy rules (and are therefore not restricted transfers), we recognise that onward transfers of personal data from ThoughtRiver to Twilio are restricted transfers.
In order to provide an adequate safeguard for such onward transfers, we have entered into a data protection addendum with Twilio which incorporates both the EU SCCs (for EU data) and the UK Addendum (for UK data). You can view these here.
We are therefore confident that the personal data of your users will be protected under our DPA with Twilio; however, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
