6.1 International Transfers of your Personal data: the personal data we collect may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of the jurisdiction you are in. Some of these jurisdictions offer differing levels of protection in respect of personal data and may, in certain instances, be less protective than the jurisdiction you are resident in.
