You are cautioned to read such web sites' terms and conditions and/or privacy policies before using the Sites. In particular, AloveZ’s YouTube integration uses the YouTube API Services.

TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO OTHER COUNTRIES

We share your Personal Information within the BIGO Group. This will involve transferring your data to a country outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), such as Singapore. Many of our external third parties are based outside the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring the implementation of standard contractual clauses, that is:

Where we use certain service providers or cause the data to transfer within the BIGO group, we will use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
