Legal basis

The legal basis on which we process your data is that we have a contract with you, where applicable, or our legitimate interest in us doing so. Our legitimate interests include administering the Open Society Foundations, delivering our grant making, and management of our programmatic work.  

Data sharing and international transfers of data

Open Society Foundations may need to share the personal data submitted as part of the registration process with third parties but only for the above purposes, e.g., a cloud service provider hosting the portal. Where it is necessary to transfer your data to a recipient outside of the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), where local laws may provide a lower standard of protection for personal data, we ensure personal data is adequately protected by using international transfer safeguards, for example, the Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission.
