Transfers follow vendors

SaaS products often rely on global infrastructure. Hosting, analytics, support, and payments can all move data across borders.

Safeguards need a name

Where transfers happen, the policy should mention relevant safeguards such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other appropriate transfer mechanisms.
